Biological Station for Research.

This year's project, entitled "Journey from the Centre of the Earth'' is being sponsored once again by Cable & Wireless.

Through "Telepresence'', an advanced technology using satellites to link students with research sites thousands of miles away, Bermuda's high school students will be able to "visit'' research sites in Yellowstone National Park and Iceland.

The students will be able to directly interact with scientists working at such places as frozen glaciers, gushing geysers, boiling mud pots and volcanoes.

They will also be able to operate cameras and equipment half-way around the world using highly sophisticated computer and satellite link ups.

The research locations were chosen because they are situated directly above geothermal hot spots, areas in the earth's upper mantle where rocks from the lower mantle move upward and melt, forming "magma''.

JASON founder Bob Ballard -- who discovered the wreck of the Titanic -- will teach as students investigate geology, biology and glaciology of both Yellowstone and Iceland.

The project will run from April 28 to May 9. But public transmissions of the JASON Project will take place between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. on May 1, from 12.30 p.m. to 1.30 p.m. on May 3, and on May 8.

General admission will be $5 for adults and $3 for children under 12.
