Cathy is realizing her dream and is in fact on her way to the ice in the Arctic ocean. This is in the framework of a sizeable scientific expedition, the US part being sponsored by the National Science Foundation. It is happening this spring as the initial contribution to the International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-08. The three leading investigators are women, hence the nickname "women on ice."
Naval submarine excercises are the origin of the camp on the ice that the researchers will take over next Sunday, April 1, for two weeks.
Cathy is very excited about the expedition!
