Socrates Café Extension Group
On Tuesday the 9th November, Laura H, Sam C and Ari O had a special meeting with Marine Biologist Jonny Stark for our Socrates Café Extension Group. Our current focus is climate change and circular revolution so we learnt about his work on the sea floor in Antarctica. Some things we learnt were:
- The ice in Antarctica can be 1.5m – 2m thick.
- The water in Antarctica is so still that visibility can be up to 100m underwater.
- There used to be a rubbish piles lying around the glaciers of Antarctica, but thankfully it was all cleaned up in 2004.
- And finally some animals that live in the freezing cold waters are scallops, star fish, ugly fish, sea anemone, Antarctic cod, sea slugs and sea kelp.
It was really informative and exciting.
