Yesterday at the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto, Canada, the Cape Farewell Youth Expedition 08 launched. This incredible trip begins September 7 when the students and staff leave from Iceland aboard the Academik Shokalskiy, a Russian research vessel, and travel to Greenland and Baffin Island in Northern Canada. Check out the blog and route map the videos that will be posted from this incredible group of individuals as they draw attention to Climate Change in the Arctic.

Cape Farewell’s sixth voyage, in September 2008, is the first to originate in Canada. Its expedition includes Canadian youth from high schools representing every province and territory in Canada, as well as a number of international youth.
In addition to the 16 students from Canada, there will be students from the United Kingdom, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Brazil, and India. Joining these 28 young students are 18 adult mentors, scientists, educators and staff. Moreover, the ship’s master and crew of 30, including a doctor, are active members of the expedition and highly experienced in Arctic voyages.

What a great journal. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give kudos to whoever built your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an unbelievable article. I honestly consider there is a ability to writing articles that only very few posses and frankly you have it. The combination of demonstrative and upper-class content is decidedly extremely rare with the massive amount of blogs on the net.
