Ballou's latest post reports on a night spent on the ice and an interview with climate change researcher Dr. Stephen F. Pekar.

Wellington, New Zealand (PRWEB) December 5, 2007 -- Celsias.com (http://www.celsias.com/), the premier climate change science and news forum, today posted the second installment of its series, "Letters from Antarctica." Reporting on life and work at the bottom of the globe, writer Patricia Ballou provides a unique perspective on earth's most important barometer of climate change.

While most people picture Antarctica as a vast and open landscape, this installment of "Letters from Antarctica" presents an enclosed view of the continent. Set inside an Antarctic-igloo – known as a quinzhee – that's no larger than a doghouse, the tale features Ballou holed up with two friends, sharing moments of laughter and frustration, excitement and anxiety. Even the simplest of activities becomes a complex challenge and the most daunting conditions inspire cheer and optimism.
