“International Polar Year (IPY) will see thousands of scientists, from more than 60 nations, working together on 220 projects at high latitudes.”
“We still know very little about Antarctica and the Arctic. But the big difference is that we now know the regions are very important.”
It seems in times past my grandfather has lived out my dreams or passed his experiences to me genetically. I am in love with the ocean, the arctic, the color blue. I lose my mind when I see the ocean, its vast depths, its secrets we will never know. Someday maybe I can spend time in the arctic and at sea. Obviously not for military conquest, but there must be a way.
