Our lonely hut is near the Adelie Penguin breeding colony at Cape Royds, Antarctica. Many distinguished visitors come to see the penguins and learn about Antarctica throughout the season. If your class would like to design and make a penguin flag for us to fly at the hut we will take a picture of it, sign it and return it to your school. We also position a flag in front of the PenguinCam, in order to know how strong the wind is blowing. Use the following guidelines to help you create your design.
Flags must be mailed to us by Dec 31, 2009, or they will not reach us in time to be flown.
Size: any size is fine
Design: Create a picture about penguins or Antarctica. Incorporate your school’s logo or name if you wish.
Material: Any fabric is fine, remember the winds in Antarctica are fierce, nylon works best. Please add a sleeve or grommets so we can attach the flag to our pole.
Here is where your flag will be flown and you can see a picture of it everyday with our penguin cam at : http;//thistle.org/pcam
