The ICY SHOTS

Take a look at these pages of Trisha's photos and video clips from the Exploration ICEBLOCK journey.

These pages give a journal of images and descriptions about the Exploration ICEBLOCK journey. I've taken a thematic approach, not only from place to place but also of the happenings along the way. The scientific work done by the marine ecologists that hosted me gives a detailed explanation with photos and video clips for children to follow.

This is a collaborative journal which could not have been compiled without the generous support and contributions of our 'K082 team' who were constantly bombarded with questions and requests! Thanks guys.

To find out more about the NIWA marine ecologists Antarctic research project take a look at their ICECUBE website.
