Hi Elke,

It was a wonderful expirience talking to you on the video-confrence.  My question is:

When you first arrived, what was the expirience like?

AND:

When was the Ozone hole in its worst state?

Thank you soooo Much for being able to talk to us.

Dear Allegra, Thank you for your comment and  questions. Yes, it was very interesting communicating with your class via the the video conference. When I first arrived it felt like stepping onto a different planet!! It was very exciting.  The ozone hole started in August and ended in the beginning of November. It was at its worst state during September/October. I arrived in December here at the Pole.  Happy New Year,  Elke Bergholz
