*Cascadia* · 02-29-2004, 09:08 PM

My spring break is 2 weeks long.

Hey, Sci-Fi, maybe you can find some scienticific facts about the climate of Antartica. You know, help me out.

*Cascadia* · 02-29-2004, 09:34 PM

what do you want to know???
severe low temperatures vary with latitude, elevation, and distance from the ocean; East Antarctica is colder than West Antarctica because of its higher elevation; Antarctic Peninsula has the most moderate climate; higher temperatures occur in January along the coast and average slightly below freezing

Terrain:

about 98% thick continental ice sheet and 2% barren rock, with average elevations between 2,000 and 4,000 meters; mountain ranges up to nearly 5,000 meters; ice-free coastal areas include parts of southern Victoria Land, Wilkes Land, the Antarctic Peninsula area, and parts of Ross Island on McMurdo Sound; glaciers form ice shelves along about half of the coastline, and floating ice shelves constitute 11% of the area of the continent

animals:

penguins, polar bears, seals

Thanks. You the Freak!

I wonder if I can grind a glacier...

Note: Go to West Antartica. Bring plenty of hot-sauce. And some Coca-Cola; maybe the polar bears won't eat me. And bring Hostess Twinkies for the penguins.

There's no real technical spring break here, but the week after next I'm off to Paris for a few days of francophilia.

Actually, I have plans in motion to bring a black beret, red/white striped shirt and a cigarette and taunt passerbys in a cheesy French accent. Pictures will ensue.

*Kid Icarus* · 02-29-2004, 11:54 PM

We don't get a break. It sucks. And this week, we have a messed up schedule for some testing thing. I'm usually out at 11:30, but tuesday I'm there till 1:30.

*That Matt Guy* · 03-01-2004, 06:24 AM

Break?

*The Defibrillator* · 03-01-2004, 08:13 AM

My break isn't until the 15th......and I will just be chillin here.

*Taloniss* · 03-01-2004, 08:22 AM

I plan to do what I always do - sleep late and play video games.

*Cascadia* · 03-01-2004, 10:06 AM

my spring break is from March 12 until March 27.

**HorseTechie** · 03-01-2004, 11:33 AM

Nothing special... as usual.

I usually get this big project for a presentation at work that I have to work on every time, the same time each year. During IUPUI's spring break. That.. and I have a ton of school work to work on anyway. Nor does my husband want to go anywhere either.

So I go on like it doesn't exist.

Well, this Spring Break (coming up Monday the 8th), I get to meet my long-lost brother. Can't say I've done that before (I'm not being a nincompoop, this is being serious... yes, you may gasp).

LAXtitan99 · 03-01-2004, 01:27 PM

Break from March 12th thru the 21st.

Going home to Jersey for a bit to relax and hang out with the fam. Maybe work some.

School is more of a break than being home though so I dunno, I should call it spring work session

*Cascadia* · 03-01-2004, 05:32 PM

this spring break is my first spring break with no work to do.....I have final exams next week.
