Here's a great site, part of the Open University extras for the Frozen Planet series on BBC narrated by Daivd Attenborough. It's a really interesting Google Earth 'mashup' including current weather and ice maps, and a timeline of Arctic exploration. I particularly liked the interactive 'current weather' map which shows the latest meteorological data from loads of weather stations in the Arctic regions. Can't see much use for it, but it's definitely interesting!
Also, thanks to Laura for linking to this, get a free poster. It's mostly of the Antarctic on the sign-up page but I'm assuming (and hoping!) it will have the Arctic on the back!
