The University of Alaska, Fairbanks recently began accepting applications for a novel program called Girls On Ice, described as “a mountaineering adventure and learning experience for young women.” This entirely FREE opportunity is open to 15-18 year old girls interested in an 11-day excursion to either the Cascade Mountains in Washington State or Mount Baker in Alaska. There, two teams of 9 intrepid young women will explore science with a group of highly trained “glaciologists, ecologists, artists, and mountaineers.” More information and a link to the application can be found here.
