On March 12th, 2008, the International Polar Year (IPY) will launch its third International Polar Day, focussing on 'Changing Earth'. The first two focussed on Sea Ice and Ice Sheets.
In preparation for the next IPY Day, a page collating information about IPY and the Changing Earth has been prepared with information for Press and Educators, details of current projects, activities, events, virtual balloon launch, background information and useful links and resources.
The full list of planned IPY days includes the upcoming Days focussing on Land and Life, People, Above the Poles, and Polar Oceans.
We would appreciate circulation of the following summary sheets and flyers around the wide IPY community and beyond. We also hope you'll consider launching a virtual balloon to show your involvement in IPY.
