bulletI 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

bulletTHANK_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.
