Zeitcam and stuff...

I recommend that you watch the ITN Evening News this week. They are broadcasting from the Antarctic all week. Earlier this week they were filming when a large piece of ice broke off and narrowly missed the boat. Apparently they made their trip there carbon neutral too...

There are 289 time lapse movies at ZEITCAM: http://www.zeitcam.com/index.php
These are produced by sequencing webcam images taken over long periods. Thanks to Tony Cassidy for pointing this out.
Don't forget to get out there and GEOGRAPH the empty squares. Prizes for KES pupils who fill in some local squares (I haven't had to give out a prize yet despite offering lots of them - let's have a little more involvement !)

Don't forget to have some more ideas for the FUTURE of King's Lynn ready for Friday.

And take care in the stormy weather tomorrow, and check out the ICE STORMS that are sweeping across the USA on CNN. Your orange juice might get a little more expensive soon !

And the Two Towers link with Brazil ? I'm thinking of the Terry Gilliam movie not the country - or was it Twelve Monkeys ? Actually, I'd better check...
Oh, yes, it was Brazil after all. The interrogation of the Jonathan Pryce character was filmed inside a cooling tower...
