text at the bottom left MUST be retained as it
is shown, it must remain readable if the picture is
resized. If the picture is used on a website, the
picture must be DIRECTLY hyperlinked to
http://www.coolantarctica.com
using html.Pictures
must be accessible by all if they are published
on the web. Use in any paid-for section of a website
is not permitted. CoolAntarctica.com is free for all
to use, I expect that free-use pictures from here will
also be free to access elsewhere.

in the form "Use of picture courtesy Paul Ward

or otherwise distributed, they may be used in commercial
printed or electronic publications, but may not be sold
on their own or as a part of a collection. They may
not be used for decoration of any kind as a part of
any commercial or non-commercial product - t-shirts,

If there is no watermark
on the picture FREE USE IS NOT ALLOWED

G'day,
Cool Pictures, our year 6 class (11 year olds) have been
studying Antarctica, as part of our integrated studies.
Love some of the pictures and have used them for class discussions,
as well as writing stimuli.

I love this
site! I needed a resource for photos to use in centers in
my classroom-one for each continent. This will help expose
my students to the world and help increase their vocabularies.
The pictures are beautiful.

I am a Junior in College getting my
Psychology degree. The class that I am currently in had
the assignment on a term project involving a paper and a
power point presentation. The broad subject was Team Dynamics
which we had to narrow down. I narrowed down mine to Bioteams
being looked at as a way to make organizational teams more
successful. As penguins are a great example of a Bioteam
I wanted to use them as a background on my presentation
and was glad to find your pictures on Cool Antarctica. I
am using the watermarked ones and as we use the APA citing
system they will be fully cited. I wanted to thank you for
your contributions with the site and I will probably use
it in future presentations.
Sincerely - Patricia Smith
Thank you for the amazing photos and

We are a group of 7 kids in the odyssey
of the MIND program and in our problem, we have to visit
3 places, one of which is Antarctica. We have to color a
background for the play but we need a real picture for the
judges to see from where we made the background. Your
pictures re great. We plan to use one of them. Thanks
