The IPY Educational Posters are available for download from the Research Council of Norway (Forskningsrådet) You’ll find a set of five free downloadable educational posters for the International Polar Year (IPY), aimed at high school students. This project supports the education, outreach, and communications efforts of IPY. The five posters are available for download in high resolution and accessible formats and are free to use. The poster themes include:

1. The Polar Regions
2. Climate Change and the Poles
3. Polar People

The posters address the question: “Why, and how, are the polar regions and polar research important to all people on Earth?” See http://www.grida.no/polar/ipy/2840.aspx
