The Crestwood-Antarctica Connection aims to connect the students of Crestwood Local Schools, the greater community, and beyond with real scientific research taking place at the coldest, windiest, driest continent located at the bottom of the world.  

Indeed, Antarctica is a challenging place for any critter to make its living.  But nestled among the moss and the rocks of the Antarctic Peninsula lives a tough little fly with amazing adaptations. Please join us as we travel to Palmer Station, Antarctica to learn more about how Belgica antarctica survives harsh polar conditions.   Explore this website to learn more.  Let the adventure begin!
