South Pole Station and Aurora Australis


This fantastic photo was sent to us from one of our pen pals at the South Pole Station -- Amundsen Scott Station in Antarctica. (This one is from Leah Webster.) I will be adding more here over time plus some quotes from the email correspondence between our students and teachers at SVDP-ALC and Antarctica (with the permission of our friends at the USAP).
Our students have been learning a tremendous amount about life and work in Antarctica and about so many other subjects from math and science to history and literacy skills from this amazing email correspondence between our school and our friends in the United States Antarctica Program. The South Pole Rules!

What a truly amazing picture! It is fantastic to be viewing such a beautiful happening so far away and for your students to learn so much about the continent of Antarctica, not to mention the people living there. Congratulations and applause to all!! Great work, Adrian!!
