BAFFIN ISLAND SCHOOL OUTREACH - SPRING 2011 INTERACTIVE
On 17th April 2011, Antony Jinman, Vijay Shah and Duncan Eadie
will head to Baffin Island and attempt a fist British crossing of the
Penny Ice Cap from Okoa Bay, unassisted to Pangnirtung. This project
will cover over 200km, starting and ending at sea level but rising to
1900 metres at its highest point. The mountain passes makes for
spectacular scenary as the team traverse this landscape documenting the
changes taking place by climate change in photography and film.
This expedition is the 8th to Baffin Island by Antony Jinman,
witnessing first hand how the landscape is changing and voicing the
concerns of the Inuit communitees visited.
This expedition will also be the first test expedition for
Education Through Expeditions and its discussion board platform for
schools, ETETeachers. Our discussion board will be joined by scientists
and teachers so that students questions can be discussed and expressed
as the expedition unfolds. Through testing this platform we aim to help
further develop our services at ETE to aid the classroom and inspire
children to follow their own aspirations in life.
This project will be totally interactive, and questions can be
asked straight from the classroom, with answers heading right back! If
you would like your school to be involved, please contact laura@etelive.org
