The Polaris Project website was down for a bit shortly after our return to the US. The site was hacked and being used for some nefarious purpose. We are back online but lost some of our content – Max’s heartwarming summary post from the Moscow cafe was among the causalities. In that post, Max wrote eloquently about the amazing experiences we had in Siberia and the mixed feelings we all had about returning home and leaving the group and landscape behind.
Max and I are going to work on hiring a skilled web programmer to help us get some new content, better photo sharing, and such in the next few months. Until then, we’ll make occasional updates to the blog (like on our sea ice predictions) and get some new photos up. Some of the students are also threatening to bring the project to Facebook. Thanks to all who have been following along.
