About This Website

WomenInAntarctica.com is a website produced by video journalist Mary Lynn Price to present short video portraits of some of the many women working in Antarctica.

There are thousands of women from countries all over the world doing incredible work of all kinds in Antarctica. These video portraits only begin to depict a small handful of these amazing women and the work they are doing on the most remote continent on Earth.

It is our hope that the video portraits on this website will inspire viewers to want to learn more about the people and work presented. Toward this goal, links for accessing further information and online resources are included on the individual video portrait pages.

In addition to presentation on this website, these short video portraits of Women Working In Antarctica will be distributed via several popular video, podcasting and social networking websites.

The video portraits will also be used as part of the Ocean Institute's Girls in Ocean Science program based in Dana Point, California.

Some of the video portraits, as well as a number of student video questions to Antarctic researchers submitted by Girls in Ocean Science student organizers, were originally released as part of a video blog created on location at the United States Antarctic Base, McMurdo Station.

A Special Thank You to the National Science Foundation, Norbert Wu, the Ocean Institute of Dana Point, California, Peter Brueggeman, and many other individuals and organizations for helping to make this Antarctica project possible.
