About PolarDiscovery from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Polar Discovery brings you the story of science on ice. The polar regions are experiencing unprecedented environmental changes that have significant potential impacts on global climate, ecosystems, and societies. Through daily stories, photos, and videos, our Web site gives you an inside look at scientific expeditions to the frozen ends of the earth. Using the latest engineering advancements, scientists will study the heart of the icy Arctic Ocean, the glaciers of Greenland, and the creatures of Antarctica's Southern Ocean.
