A touch of magic: The junior choir from St Martins School sang "It Don't Mean a Thing (If it Ain't Got That Swing)", "Seasons of Love" and "Ain't No Mountain (High Enough)" as staff from Scott Base, Antarctica,
crowded around their video feed listening to sounds from home.
The Antarctic Festival 2008 started with a two-hour video conferencing outside Our City O-Tautahi using the Brand Bubble television and an ISDN connection to the continent provided by Telecom.
Cobham School children - who created the Antarctic Festival's "Big Bergs" exhibition at the same venue - informed Base staff what they had done for the exhibition and asked numerous questions.
