Live from Antarctica, Volume 4In this fourth video of a four part 'Passport to Knowledge Special', hosted by Camille Moody Jennings from Maryland Public Television, children from Maryland and Alaska public schools had the opportunity to directly interact with and ask questions of scientists and researchers from the Antarctic, and learn about the different geological and meteorological research going on in the Antarctic and McMurdo Base at McMurdo Sound. The scientists questioned included: Donal Manahan (biologist from Un. of So. California), who described some of the geological features from Hut Point, the historic hut built by Capt. Scott in 1902; Sridar Anandakrishnan (Penn State Un.) whose research includes ice plate movement of the central ice sheet and earthquakes and how they affect the sheet; and Lt. j.g. Kate McNitt, who spends her winters investigating the trace gases, aerosols, CFC's and ozone levels over the Antarctic area that are affecting the seasonal ozone hole that appears in that region. Historical film footage of Capt. Scott's exploration of the Antarctic is included.
