Educator sought to join Antarctic expedition
Polar explorer Robert Swan, an international advocate for renewable energy and the protection of Antarctica, is seeking an educator to join his two-week expedition in November.
Last year, two students from the West Chester area accompanied the group, said Peter Hobart, Swan's East Coast representative. Hobart said interested teachers or professors must submit an essay of 500 words or less by Sept. 4, titled: "Why I want to visit Antarctica this November, and how I plan to bring the skills I learn back to my classroom."
The winner will travel by ship with a team of about 80 others. Information is available at www.antarctica2041.com/teacherscontest. - Kathleen Brady Shea
