Upcoming Antarctic Expedition

R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer icebreaker

Teacher Sarah Slack is heading to Antarctica next week for the ship-based Thwaites Offshore Research expedition. The two-month expedition will be aboard the R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer icebreaker in the Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica. There they will be studying the Thwaites Glacier, which has been thinning rapidly and its flow speed has been increasing. You can join Sarah on the expedition by reading her journals, joining live from the field events, and asking your questions.
