Antarctica [electronic resource] : Heroic Science at the Botoom of the World.
Antarctic science continues the spirit of the 'Heroic Age of Exploration' of Scott, Amundsen, and Shackleton -- even if participants no longer risk their lives so dramatically. It is the extraordinary logistical support for today's science that deserves to be called heroic. Critical c...

| 520 | 3 | |a Antarctic science continues the spirit of the 'Heroic Age of Exploration' of Scott, Amundsen, and Shackleton -- even if participants no longer risk their lives so dramatically. It is the extraordinary logistical support for today's science that deserves to be called heroic. Critical cosmology and earth climate questions drive the research. The South Pole ('Great God! this is an awful place' - Scott 1/17/1912) has become one of the world's great astro/particle physics centers. The McMurdo Dry Valleys, including Beacon Valley, the most like Mars on Earth, and Taylor Valley ('a valley of the dead'), and the great ice sheets, hold crucial keys to understanding the Earth's climate. In December I had the special opportunity to photograph these spectacular places on assignment with Madeleine Nash for Time. The story appeared February 3rd. I will include many photographs of the incredible work and scenery on the highest, driest, coldest continent on Earth. | |
