Welcome to our very first blog entry. We are very new to blogging and aim to update our blog on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. This will also be a place to come for up to date information and notices. As well as all of this we will also be keeping you up to date with what is happening in Room 1.
We are following an expedition across the Atacama Desert in Chile. This expedition is being run through an organisation called i2P - Impossible to Possible. Six university students from around the world are involved in this including one student from Auckland University. They run approximately 1200 kilometres during their six day expedition and are involved a lot of different experiences. You can follow their blog by clicking on this link

We have been doing some fact finding on both the Atacama Desert and Chile. Some facts we found are:
Chile - The population of Chile is 17.8 million
- Chile holds the record for the biggest earthquake, magnitude9.5
Atacama Desert - It hasn’t rained for over 400 years in some parts of the desert.
We are looking forward to having a video conference with the students who are participating in the expedition soon.
