Students on Ice University Expedition: February 12-28, 2011

Welcome and thank you for your interest in the Students on Ice University Expedition 2011.

This ship-based expedition offers prospective students the opportunity to enroll in one of several University-level field courses, and experience one of the most exceptional places on Earth. We will use an interdisciplinary approach to examine the uniqueness of the Antarctic continent, its political, scientific and exploration history. 

Once in Antarctic waters, all students will make frequent field trips to the Antarctic mainland via Zodiac inflatables from the main ship. These landings will be supplemented by lectures, seminars and lab exercises in dedicated space aboard our expedition vessel, the M/V Ushuaia. 

The expedition will have approximately 70 participating University students, and 20 University faculty, scientists, experts, and educators. Undergraduate and graduate students from around the world and from any University can apply to participate.
