Antarctica-Past, Present and Future: Count Down to Gibbs 100th Birthday

One week to go to 11/7/16- This would be George W. Gibbs, Jr's 100th Birthday.

Best news this year for Antarctica: The most pristine waters in the world are now protected! http://bbc.in/2f6d1G3

Gibbs sailed to the Ross Ice Shelf with Admiral Richard E. Byrd's III expedition to the South Pole, in 1940. Where icebergs look like castles and penguins love to play. Thankfully, after 76 years, we still have these sights. For the next 35 years, the protections remain. Antarctica is melting. We're more aware of what that might mean for the planet.

We need to save the world's last frontier. This is a perfect step.
