2008 Alaska Coastal Calendar International Polar Year Edition

The 2008 calendar focuses on the International Polar Year, and we're highlighting both the natural beauty and the science of Alaska and the Arctic. You'll also learn about the frontiers of knowledge being explored by dedicated scientists in the far north and get an insight into how a warming climate is transforming the 49th state. We've collected some of the most spectacular images from Alaska's coasts and waterways for our award-winning 16-month wall calendar. We've included breathtaking scenery, fascinating underwater sealife, and scenes of work and play that draw people to Alaska's coasts. Each month includes a brief description of interesting marine research happening from the panhandle to the Bering Sea to the ice floes of the Arctic Ocean.
