Ferdinand the penguin left Wales on Saturday the 18th of November, 2000.
Ferdinand will become a research assistant for Jamie Morison who works for the Polar Science Centre at the University of Washington in Seattle.
From Seattle Ferdinand will be travelling to the North Pole to begin important enironmental research. This part of the journey will begin some time in March, 2001.
I will be updating this page as soon as information comes in. In the meantime further information on the work that Jamie and his colleagues do can be found at http://psc.apl.washington.edu/northpole/, this site is updated so often that it is virtually real-time information.
Ferdinand was featured in the February 9th edition of the APL Newsletter, to view that newsletter you need Adobe Acrobat Reader. Otherwise you'll just have to take my word for it.
