Happy International Polar Day

International Polar Day - September 24, 2008Today is a very spe­cial day, a day to cel­e­brate Peo­ple. I almost missed this cel­e­bra­tion, but SpaceCol­lec­tive user LED gave me a heads up. I launched a vir­tual bal­loon to show my par­tic­i­pa­tion. Inter­na­tional Polar Day is a part of a big­ger cam­paign last­ing all of 2008, Inter­na­tional Polar Year (IPY). IPY aims to focus many sci­en­tific efforts on polar regions to study the effects of cli­mate change on Atmos­phere, Ice, Land, Oceans, Peo­ple, and Space.

Join us around Sep­tem­ber 24th in learn­ing more about Peo­ple and the Polar Regions. Using the side­bar on the left of these pages you can find many ways to get involved includ­ing hav­ing local and global dis­cus­sions, tun­ing in to radio broad­cast from Arc­tic Canada, and launch­ing a vir­tual balloon.
