In 2008 - on swiss independence day August 1rst - there's an arctic eclipse and we're going to the north pole. Are we going to dance with polar bears?

we'll be on a nuclear russian ice breaker... what challenges await? Will there be any ice left? will we find any cubs to dance with?

this could be the setting of a reality based strategy adventure game. put in a mix of 'iceberg the movie' (www.icebergthemovie.com) and all bets are off.

We had a fun contest back in 2003, one contestant (Sue Blackman) created a fun Penguin game too using Radishworks.

This time we should have a gamedev contest at GG.

Sure would be nice to have Kevin join along for the trip :-)
I believe NASA's Mr. Eclipse aka Mr. Espenak is going too. and there's also always a japanese team doing liveeclipse.com or something like that.
