    My students used their class out of time to find the mystery classes as an
    extra credit project. The students were very interested in finding their
    locations. It was great to watch the students find websites that put them
    right at their location. This was especially true for the South Pole
    Station, since one of my students found a picture almost identical to the
    entrance into the South Pole dome. Even better, it was from an
    individual's personal webpage that included other travels and even family
    birthdays! Yet, this one site was the clincher for those students. Thank
    you for a wonderful project and I look forward to doing it again with my
    class next year!
