Jason McDonald on the Ice


Jason McDonald of the USAP sends us this cool photo of himself "on the ice." (In Antarctica, the expression "on the Ice" means being in Antarctica.) Double click the photo to enlarge to see how vaste the ice really is.

Jason has a lot in common with us in New Orleans. He was born in Baton Rouge -- must be an LSU Tigers fan -- and has even lived in New Orleans as have several members of his family. He understood the terrible events of Hurricane Katrina as well because of his connections to the Big Easy and Louisiana.

So, he can really understand the similarities and differences between us and the people "on the Ice." But though we live in different places, we have common dreams. Jason and the other Antarctica pen pals are really helping our students to learn a lot. It's a great education! Thanks for the emails and the great photo, Jason.
