McGill Students on Ice — Antarctica 2011

In February 2011, McGill students participated in a field study course in Antarctica, co-ordinated by the non-profit Students on Ice. They crossed the Southern Ocean from Ushuaia to the Antarctic Peninsula and visited many landing sites, conducting oceanographic sampling and exploring the Antarctic environment. Led by Earth and Planetary Sciences prof Eric Galbraith, the 10 McGill students from several faculties joined students from four other universities aboard this spectacular and eye-opening expedition.
