Welcome to the the Canadian International Polar Year Web Site

In 2007 – 2008 the international polar research community will celebrate the 125th anniversary of the First International Polar Year (IPY), the 75 th anniversary of the Second IPY and the 50th anniversary of the International Geophysical Year (IGY). The IPY and IGY were major initiatives that brought significant new insights into global processes and laid the foundation for decades of invaluable polar research. International Polar Year 2007-2008 offers a chance to build on existing programs and develop an exciting range of education and outreach activities that will attract the next generation of polar scientists and engage the public. An intense, global campaign of coordinated polar observations and analysis, it will be bipolar in focus, multidisciplinary in scope, and truly international in terms of participation.
