Extreme 2010: An Antarctic Adventure!
Presented by the University of Delaware with support from the National Science Foundation

From Dec. 1-15, join a University of Delaware research team as they work on the coldest, windiest, driest continent on Earth: Antarctica.

Their base of operations is the U.S. South Pole Station. Their mission, as members of an international research team, is to help build the world's largest neutrino telescope, aptly named "IceCube," nearly two miles deep in the Antarctic ice.

With this novel telescope, researchers hope to detect neutrinos, high-energy particles that zip right through planets and even mysterious black holes. Neutrinos may reveal important information about how the universe works.

The scientists will share their experiences in daily blogs and photos on this Web site, which is now being updated:
www.expeditions.udel.edu/antarctica/. A "Phone Call to the Deep Freeze" also will be made, on Dec. 14, starting at 1:30 p.m. Eastern, linking the researchers with selected classrooms.

We will be hosting a phone call between Delaware schools and UD Antarctic researchers, tentatively set for Tuesday, Dec. 14, at 1:30 p.m. Eastern. There is no cost for schools to participate, and the only technology needed is a speakerphone. If your school is selected, further instructions will be provided. Would you like to participate in the phone call? yes no
If you answered "yes," please provide background about your class/school and why you think this would be an important experience for your students:
