There is no way one web site can report on all IPY activities around the world. That's why we started Friends of IPY, a list of regularly updated news and blog sites dealing with the poles and IPY-related activities. You can see the most recently published stories from all these sites on the right hand side column of the front page of www.IPY.org. This makes it easy to keep up to date on all things polar.

With the recent addition of the Students on Ice Blog to "Friends of IPY", a list of regularly updated news and blog sites dealing with the poles and IPY-related activities, we now monitor 30 such sites — mostly in English, but also in other languages.

For those of you who use feed readers to monitor news and blogs, you can catch the combined feed of most recent entries here.
