'Ice on the Move' Videoconference

Today we had our 3rd week of videoconferences. This week's topic was 'Ice on the Move'. Grad student/gravity expert/knows a thing or two about ice, Kirsty Tinto co hosted with Shakira.

We decided to change things up a bit and broadcast from outside instead of in the Crary Library. Needing internet, electricity and not frozen cables we set up shop on a loading dock at Crary. The equipment and myself were inside while Shakira and Kirsty were outside. Our goal was to try and give the students the feeling that we are actually in Antarctica and not just in a library. So Shakira and Kirsty suited up in their extreme weather gear (ECW) and showed the students just how cold it really was.
