Keeping up with our Antarctic adventure
For those wanting to dive deeper into our expedition and keep up with the adventure, you can:
follow the students’ stories and ask questions on our Instagram feed Antarctic Explorers (usta_antarctica): [https://www.instagram.com/usta_antarctica?igsh=MW41MmxmN2lmYXhpNA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr]
See the real-time vessel position here [https://www.cruisemapper.com/?imo=9813072]
See the ship’s camera feed here [https://hrx.panomax.com/ra] – a bit weird because this is the view I am currently enjoyinbg as I’m typing this – but we get the full sensory experience of Antarctica which is impossible to describe ……
and of course you can also post comments to this blog.
The fact that we even have good Internet at 69 degrees South is a bit bewildering…..What a wonderfully weird world we’re living in…..
Hi everyone, midway through your expedition, I enjoyed every little bit of your posts, photos, blog, ship position and camera feed. All of it! It's a bit like travelling with you and I totally share your excitement. So first of all I want to extend a huge thank you for all the material you shared. Second, I would like you to stop for a minute and gain profound consciousness of how lucky you are, partaking at the same time in a serious data collection within a high-level academic course and a luxury cruise to such remote areas of our planet. A rare synergy indeed! And last but not least, I have a little request... Could you post a "scientific entry" in you blog, detailing what data and how and why you are collecting? The more technical info, the better. As a scientist myself I am very curious... Thanks and keep up the good work! Antonella (Marzia's mom)
Dear Antonella, thank you for your comment and suggestion. Very important point!!! We will post about what we do and why. At the moment we're busy collecting and organising the data and observations. Towards the end of the trip the students will give a presentation to the fellow passengers about what we saw and we can share a summary here.
