Churchilling

We started the day with another scrumptious breakfast of bacon, sausage, potatoes and fruit salad. Normally we need to fill ourselves up in order to have enough energy for a day of travel, but today turned out to be a chill-out day unrelated to the outside temperature.
The morning's lesson was a crash-course in GPS, to have us prepared for the geocaching that we will do later. It turned out to be much needed, as turning the
bloody devices on seemed to be more confusing than interpolating coordinates via triangulation.

After eating a delicious non-bagged lunch in the cafeteria, we returned to the classroom to watch 'An Inconvenient Truth' (right after Catface, of course), since quite a few of us hadn't seen it before (some had seen it upwards of 4 times already, but we all know there's no such thing as too much Al Gore). After discussing the movie, we watched a few short video clips of expert scientists talking about the issues of climate change; all facts, no political tactics. We all learned a lot about the science of climate change, the impacts it has and will have on our planet, and what we can do to solve the problem.

One supper later, we were all back in the AV room to watch another video, this one was a (somewhat informal) documentary about animals in the Churchill area, mainly Belugas. The two hosts were even more outrageous than the beard on Doug Isaak's face in his starring role as a boat driver in that film. Aparently, people will ask to be dragged behind a motor boat in arctic waters in an attempt to get good shots of the whales.
Now we have free time to...work...
