A good blog has been set up to follow the adventures of Fjord: a stuffed reindeer.Fjord is accompanying a group of scientists, who are on a research visit to SVALBARD.
This was a place I studied when teaching GCSE Pilot Geography a few years back, and we ended up with lots of useful contacts and websites.
The scientists are going to be studying aspects of glaciers, and there are already some good images on the blog. This might be a good way in to exploring the nature of this sort of work, and to think about a similar format for recording a school fieldtrip perhaps. Lots of schools are now using website such as POSTEROUS to set up student blog accounts...
Reminds me of some friends of mine who used to take stuffed animals on holiday with them and take pictures of them in locations around the world.
Don't forget to buy your BARNABY BEAR from the GA shop as a perfect holiday travelling companion...
GA members get a cheaper price of course...
