Poles Apart - A Pictorial Visit to the Arctic and Antarctic

The NCSR Pictorial Series of presentations are designed to provide faculty, teachers and other natural resource professionals an informal PowerPoint presentation on selected environmental settings. The presentations consist of pictures of the natural environment and feature plants, animals and landscapes of the area. The presentation's intended theme is to show diverse audiences interesting aspects of various environments. As a result, the presentations can stimulate learning more about the features of various natural settings and why they are both different and changing.

The PowerPoint presentation includes photography by Lester Reed, NCSR Project Director, and includes lecture notes. Poles Apart contains photos taken in the Arctic and in Antarctica of various flora and fauna from those locations. General information of interest is presented about the species and habitat in those regions as well as the climate. The stark differences between the two ends of the earth are also illustrated.

The 75-page document provides information about the NCSR Pictorial Series, an introduction to the lecture, and Instructor's Notes from PowerPoint Slides.
