Research Objectives:
Ms. Armstrong will visit sites at the South Pole, Dry Valleys, and West Antarctica to investigate how scientists use ice in research, either as a tool or as a subject. The book will weave the history of ice in culture, language, art, science, technology, and ethnography into her narratives on the Antarctic ice projects.
Ms. Armstrong won, in 1999, the Orbis Pictus Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Children for her book, Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World.
Ms Armstrong will make day trips and some overnight trips to areas surrounding McMurdo to observe science. She will spend one week at the South Pole.
