Too Cool, literally! 5 Antarctic Scientists to perform for Global Live Earth!
I was all gung-ho for getting a top band down to Antarctica to perform, but giving 5 British Scientists the chance to play for 2 billion people from their Research Station in Antarctica is WAY BETTER!!!

Live Earth Antarctica will take place at the British Scientific Station near the South Pole featuring rockers Nunatak, a five-member band of scientists stationed on the icy continent. They will broadcast their performance via live feed to the rest of the world during Live Earth.

Nunatak's lead singer Matt Balmer said, "I can't believe we've been invited to do this – it's a fantastic opportunity to encourage people of the world to deal with climate change. We expected to spend our Antarctic winter here at Rothera quietly getting on with our work and maybe performing at the occasional Saturday night party. We could never have imagined taking part in a global concert!"

Nunatak, a Greenlandic word, means an exposed summit of a ridge mountain or peak not covered with snow within an ice field


I predict these guys end up stealing the show!!!

3. Awesome!
I was wondering how they were going to pull off a concert from Antartica without making an ecological mess they'd be condemned for.

This is a brilliant idea!

:applause:

10. A gratuitous early evening kick

'cuz I love the heart these guys have. Scientists who rock.

I thought I was lucky to go to a law school with a kick ass band of professors and staff. Now I'll get see scientists who can jam.
