To determine the movement of the pups, quick setting marine epoxy is used to glue satellite receivers to the fur of the pups. Transmissions from the transmitters can be monitored from the United States. The battery in each transmitter lasts about a year and the hair of the pups sheds about this time. I hope to be in contact with Ms. Yochem about the results of this study. But don't expect results for at least 1 year.
Whales live in the ocean and the fartherest south that the ocean goes is around Ross Island.
The south pole is about 885 miles from McMurdo on Ross Island. There are no animals at the south pole. Question from Mrs. Grothaus' 6th grade class, Greenland School, Oconomowoc. There are a multitude of sites with information on Antarctica, search the web with the key words Antarctica and weather, etc. Aside from what there is here, you should look at the NSF Office of Polar Programs and the Rice University Glacier site .
