Hi Kirk, The students were fascinated by the picture of the Fire Department sign. Our question is: How do they fight fires in Antarctica ? The students realize that melting ice to get water wouldn't work. They think maybe the firefighters use a fire retardent spray. How do they keep the spray from freezing? We figured out that fire retardent foam wouldn't workl either.
They loved the pictures of the blue penguin and the tracked truck. Do you have any more penguin pictures so we could see the size fo the birds? Are the blue penguins rare?
Other questions: Are there models of those cool tracked trucks available? How do the people at McMurdo heat the buildings to keep warm?
We will look forward to reading your answers.
