Wow, what an amazing picture. How long does the sun stay up at the moment? Because it seems that in most of your photos there is still daylight. It looks very peaceful but we know it must be extremely cold at the same time. Has it got much colder since you have been out there?
Below is a picture of Miss Joules dressed up and ready to go to Antarctica! A scientist called Chris Fogwill, who has worked in Antarctica researching Climate change and the changes in the ice sheets, came in to talk to our class last week and brought with him some clothing that has been to Antarctica.
Good luck crossing the next section of blue ice as it sounds very tough.

My class wondered what the teacher at Otterton Primary school looks like. This blog has
allowed two primary schools to link together. We are now sharing ideas and work as we follow the Coldest Journey.

Hi Debra,
Thank you for this – the ‘meeting of young minds’ sounds very good indeed! We haven’t heard from Mary the Mouse for a while. It’s pretty certain that she’ll be fine! Expect she might possibly even be doing some knitting for the Guys as they plan to reach places that are already getting really quite cold. I know that Richmond and Spencer are very pre-occupied with the CATS, and Mary’s quite wary of these…not only are they Huge and Yellow – these CATS are just a bit fond of mice! Best wishes, Rosie at Operations HQ.

Hi! Thank you for your comments. You might like to take a look at this chart. It was provided by Brian Newham – for working at a position at 70º – so it will need adjusting – as they go south it’ll be darker for longer, and vice versa as they pass the S pole to go North again! Best wishes, Rosie, Operations HQ. https://www.thecoldestjourney.org/blog/from-the-ice/hours-of-daylight/
