As a follow-up to my previous entry, I would like to mention the current series of short articles by science journalist Peter Calamai, of the Toronto Star. Mr Calamai is onboard Canadian ice-breaker Amundsen, itself on a polar scientific expedition as part of the International Polar Year.

Here is the latest one: thestar.blogs.com/arctic/2008/03/new-ice-old-ice.html

There is an RSS feed if you would like convenient access to the whole series.
