Tomorrow, I’m off to Punta Arenas, Chile for the Antarctic 2010 campaign of Operation IceBridge. I’m leaving DC tomorrow evening…6,426 miles and 22.5 hours later, I will arrive in Chile.
I’ll spend the next ten days aboard NASA’s DC-8 research aircraft, collecting footage of Antarctic sea and land ice. We will hold a teleconference at 2pm on Monday, November 15th from Punta Arenas to discuss the campaign and provide an overview of the multi-year mission. Audio of the teleconference will be streamed live at http://www.nasa.gov/newsaudio.
Here is a video I released when the campaign kicked-off in October:
I’m hoping to edit and post short videos from the field, depending on connectivity. Keep an eye on this site as well as www.nasa.gov/icebridge and twitter.com/icebridge for updates.
