C-16 Iceberg Webcam in Antarctica

The webcam on the Antarctic C-16 iceberg (located here) was first deployed in January, 2004. The purpose of the iceberg webcam is to get a look every day of what is happening on the iceberg, even when no one is there! Since the sun is down for three months out of the year (during the Northern Hemisphere summer months - June, July, and August) in Antarctica, images from the webcam will not be available during this period.

The webcam was set-up by Ronald Ross of Stanford University, Jonathan Thom of the Automatic Weather Stations project, Marianne Okal of the University of Chicago, and Matt Szundy of Raytheon Polar Services Company. The project is overseen by Doug MacAyeal of the University of Chicago.
