- Educational videos, audio podcasts, transcripts, & study questions from Polar Gateways: "The Sun-Earth Day team traveled to the northern most town in the United States, Barrow, Alaska, to bring you a piece of the Arctic experience! While in Barrow we visited a variety of locations including 3 schools, 3 local restaurants and the Inupiat Heritage Center. While sharing the 'science of the Sun, we gained insight into the Inupiat culture and the communities close relationship with the arctic. We also learned how traditional 'ways of knowing' and western science work together to provide a deeper understanding of this extreme environment."
