1. TinMan (founder) Never been there, but then again, you don't necessarily have to be.
2. Rschen7754 What is the naming convention for these highways?
3. TwinsMetsFan I could've sworn that they were "ice paths", not highways.
4. Stratosphere Working on the mass transit systems and bridges to S. America.
5. Myselfalso I'm hoping to make it down once the bridges to the continent are complete.
6. Vishwin60 Definitely coming down here once WikiProject Bridges build the bridges. Also looking on eBay for some stuff I could bring down.
7. ROASTYTOAST I swear I've traveled on one.
8. ACBestMy Contributions 16:54, 10 February 2007 (UTC) Alright! I'll Bring My Tool Kit!
9. Lost in the glaciation: Working on defunct roads due to collapsed ice shelves.
10. WikiLeon Shooting pics of Antarctic highways for the Commons. If only the fog and snow flurries would let off.
11. Elkman - working on bridges, exit lists, and researching the legal basis for establishment of Antarctica highways.
12. Mr. crabby I was caught drunk driving on an Antartica highway. (I hate those penguin state troopers)

[edit] Structure

Articles on Antarctica Highways should be named with the convention: Antarctica Route x (where x is the route number). If a more common name can be found for the highway, use that instead. For footrails, the naming convention is Antarctica n Trail (where n is the name of the trails). For routes made by penguins, the naming convention is Penguin Path z (Antarctica) (where z is the route number). Please note that Penguin trails use the Principle 2 format from WP:SRNC; this is to ensure SPUI's happiness.

[edit] Goals

Our goal right now is to try to find roads or highways in Antarctica.

[edit] Antarctica Highways Found

• Antarctica Route 1
• Transportation in Antarctica
• McMurdo-South Pole highway
• Casey Road (Casey Station, Antarctica)
• Penguin Path 482
• Penguin Path 17: Expressway to the Sea
• Penguins clearing the way for a new Breeding Grounds Bypass. (When complete, it should 88 lanes wide, however the project is low on funds.)
• Congestion at Rush Hour on the waterfront Business Penguin Path 909
• Penguin Path 66 (Looks like a few penguins decided to take advantage of the rest area by the water)

Here are some tasks you can do: Other: Build roads in Antarctica that we can then create pages about.

[edit] Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

[edit] New Wikipedia articles related to projectname

Please feel free to list your new projectname-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Main Wikipedia page. DYN has a 72 hr. time limit from the creation of the article.

[edit] Did you know?
