Jeff Peneston, a PolarTREC teacher, Program Director of Camp Fire USA (Camp Talooli), and a 9th grade Earth Science teacher, is traveling to Antarctica on the International Expedition of the Icebreaker Oden. He has created his own expedition flag as well as a special Camp Talooli Antarctic Expedition flag, and is initating a flag exchange program with schools and camps across the country and world.

Teachers and camp leaders can contact Jeff by email to receive a blank rip-stop nylon flag that can be decorated by students and campers and mailed back. In exchange, Jeff will send one of his official blue and white expedition flags and will fly the decorated flags aboard the Oden research vessel and over McMurdo Base in Antarctica.

Participation in the flag exchange is free. For more information, refer to Jeff’s PolarTREC journal.
