TAKE A TRIP Read through the experiences from Dan Grossman during his adventure to Palmer Station, Antarctica.

WBUR sent Dan Grossman to Antarctica to report on the ecological, scientific, and marine biological research going on at Palmer Station, on the Antarctic Peninsula. He left with hopes of reporting on global warming and penguin populations. He returned with a high appreciation of what life is like on the underside of the earth.

In this site you can find out about research that proves the impact global warming has on the population of Adelie Penguins, track the migration of the Antarctic bird,
the Giant Petrel, and hear a first hand account of sailing across the treacherous Drake's Passage. You'll find video of penguins at play, photos of the scientists and their research, and learn exactly what equipment you would need to do what they do.

WBUR is working with teachers to bring the Antarctic adventure to their classrooms. If you are an educator who would like more information about Antarctica, read through our lesson plans, and write us at antarctica@wbur.bu.edu.
