Project Thin Ice

Here is a fun blog you can learn a lot from too..

Eric and Lonnie are two Arctic explorers who are trekking to the North Pole and back and are blogging daily about their experience. You can track their position on the map provided. There are photos and podcasts and chances for you to take action on climate change. It's fun and informative, and certainly worth a peek.

The expedition alerts us to the perils of thinning ice in the Arctic, particularily for the beautiful and at-risk polar bears. They are drowning in large numbers because of the melting ice and they are also being forced to starve because their hunting season is becoming shorter.
