Each student expeditioner will undoubtedly return home as an ambassador for the Antarctic, with a new understanding and respect for our planet, and an increased perception of the earth as a global ecosystem.
Through personal experience, the student expeditioners will ponder the complex political, environmental and ocean management issues facing Antarctica, while simultaneously seeking solutions and policy alternatives.
Proposed solutions and recommendations not only to the challenges facing the Antarctic, but also the global environment, will be important outcomes of an onboard Student Forum.
Through this shipboard Forum each student will have the opportunity to contribute to the search for harmony among the many forces that threaten our natural world.
The results of this Student Forum will then be presented on a world stage at the 2005 Antarctic Treaty meeting.
