A chance to go climb and sleep on glaciers in either Alaska or Washington State, plus learn and do science.
Supported in part by the NSF and Alaska Climate Science Center.
Application window opens 10 December 2014, closes 31 January 2015.
From Girls on Ice Web Site:
Girls on Ice is a unique, FREE, wilderness science education
program for high school girls. Each year two teams of 9 teenage girls
and 3 instructors spend 12 days exploring and learning about mountain
glaciers and the alpine landscape through scientific field studies with
professional glaciologists, ecologists, artists, and mountaineers. One
team explores Mount Baker, an ice-covered volcano in the North Cascades
of Washington State. The other team sleeps under the midnight sun
exploring an Alaskan glacier.
“Girls on Ice is not a reward for past good grades or academic achievement, it is an inspiration for future success.”
The application period for the 2015 Girls on Ice Teams will begin December 10, 2014 and end on January 31, 2015 at 11:59 p.m. Alaska time.
