Multimedia » The Polaris Project: Student Impact
In 2009, eleven undergraduates traveled more than halfway around the world to conduct cutting-edge investigations that advance scientific understanding of the changing Arctic. Four of the students returned in 2010 to continue their research and to mentor the new students. The two months they spent in Siberia changed their lives.
