Hey Kirk,
Thank-you for the information and photos on the extensive recycling that happens on the ice!
I watched the Antarctica DVD for kids yesterday (thank-you very much!) and planned to show it to my students next week and it has a great section on the recycling that must happen there; both your journal and the DVD will be great inspiration for 5th graders as we handle collecting recycles at the elementary.
By the by, I met the “Brand New” Park Interpreter at the State Park here yesterday; she was aware of you and your trip and she mentioned as well that she is very anxious to work with our schools in setting up programs, visits, etc with the Park. She offered to come to the school and present program information to our leaders. I was very impressed by her energy and enthusiasm.
