Toy boats for science!

Toy boats for science!

As I have learned more about the Arctic Ocean, I am seeing that the incredible range of conditions make it one of the most fascinating places on the planet. The National Science Foundation has funded researchers to study ice conditions even further with Toy Boats! By releasing 1,500 into the Arctic Ice, they were able to track motions for years.  

Where does it go?

While these aren't the exact toy boat tracks, the map shows historical drift tracks of buoys released from the North Pole Environmental Laboratory  each April between 2000 - 2014.  Read more about this fascinating data here.

Still Time for Your Perfect Gift!

The WaveClock above is made from reclaimed wine barrels made with old growth redwood. Don't worry, we're only using FSC certified reclaimed wood to ensure its all sustainably sourced. There's only a few of these unique pieces left!
