  • Arriving at Cape Royds Camp. A small setup for two field biologists to study the nearby Adelie Penguin colony. The further tent is a Polar Haven used as a kitchen and social area, powered 100% by solar power. As simple at this staion looks, it was wired for technology. Jean Pennycook, one of the researchers at the camp, was giving live lessons to classrooms around the US from the penguin colony using an ipad and a wireless network set up near the colony.
