Organizers announce that the Girls on Ice 2012 Expeditions are now
accepting applications. The 2012 program includes two expeditions. The
original North Cascades expedition on Mount Baker in Washington State
will be held 29 July - 9 August 2012, and a new Alaska-based expedition
will take place 15-25 July 2012.
Girls on Ice is a unique, free, wilderness science education program for
high school girls. Each year a team of nine teenage girls and three
instructors spend 11 days exploring and learning about mountain glaciers
and alpine landscapes through scientific field studies with professional
glaciologists and mountaineers.
Applicants must be at least fifteen years old by 15 July 2012 and no
older than eighteen on 9 August 2012. The application process requires a
series of short essay questions and two teacher recommendations. The
Alaskan expedition is primarily intended for Alaskan and Pacific
Northwest girls. For further information, or to download the application

Funding for Girls on Ice is provided through small grants, gifts from
individuals, and support from the National Science Foundation and the
University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Application deadline: Thursday, 1 March 2012.
