Free Use Pictures of Antarctica

- if the picture has a CoolAntarctica.com "watermark"
in the bottom left -
it can be used free of charge according
to the following criteria:
The " watermark" - the CoolAntarctica.com
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.
If the picture
is used in any printed media, credit must be given
in the form
"Use of picture courtesy Paul Ward

No more than 10 pictures

adding it to a website. This includes discussion forums
and bulletin boards. If this is not adhered to, an alternative
image may be supplied instead - you have been warned!

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

protected and unauthorized use will be pursued through
legal channels.
ANY usage beyond the above guidelines

Hi I'm
a 6th grader and I'm doing a project on biomes for
science and I chose Antarctica as a biome to study.
I love your site, and I'm using General Scenic 32
as the background for my poster. Thank you so much.

We are doing a continent
day at our school in February. I am in charge of
Antarctica. Thank you for the pictures that are
copyright free. As I librarian, I need to teach
the importance of copyright when getting pictures
from the Internet. The pictures are perfect for
what I want to teach about the continent.

I am a teacher in Southwestern
Oregon. I am going to be doing a unit with my English
Language Learners on the Polar regions and snow.
I found the site CoolAntarctica and was very grateful
to find that I could download up to ten pictures
to use. My main source of pictures was National
Geographic, but they didn't have some of the specific
animals that you had available. I know my students
will enjoy seeing the pictures. I will also recommend
your site to them when the older ones do a report
on a specific penguin breed of their choice. Thanks
again

Hi thank you for letting
us use your photos . My daughter Alanna needs to
make a front page news report announcing that her
exploration team has reached Antarctica.

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 school librarian

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 detailed explanation across this site.

can learn from the behaviour of this beautiful animals.

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 - Anju

THANK_YOU !!!! Although
my son is 25, he is still a bit of a Momma's
boy. He is helping to teach a teenage bible school
class that starts... you guessed it... tomorrow
night! Of course the prep work has been put off
until the last night, he calls Mom to the rescue.
The theme is Antarctica, so I found your website
and felt like I hit the lottery. Thanks again, Great
pictures and just what I/he needed.

I've
volunteered to represent Antarctica for my
agency's "Diversity Day" event. The continents
are all being covered and nobody signed up for
this one. I'm putting together a small portfolio
of pictures and information that I hope best
represents the theme of the location. I work for
the United States Department of Agriculture,
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
Thanks for the cool pics!

I'm editor of a blog at
the University of Utah. One of our electrical
engineering professors, Cindy Furse, is leading
a group of students to Antarctica in November to
do research on the ice. She has and will be
blogging about the trip. We found your photos
and would like to use them to illustrate the
pieces until she gets photos of her own. I have
read the free use guidelines, and will adhere to
them. Thank you.
