Sea Shepherd returns to Antarctic Whale Sanctuary this winter to stop Japanese from killing the Majestic Mammoths of the Seas. Captain Watson is collecting postcards to be put in a time capsule and put on Ross Island off of Antarctica, near Cape Adare, with messages about concern for the whales to be protected.

1. For those challenged by the video here is the web page with all the info

Special Delivery to Antarctica and the Future

My friends.

In December I will be heading down to the Southern Oceans and the Ross Sea the fifth time to defend and protect endangered whales in the Antarctic Whale Sanctuary.

As I did in 2006, I will be bringing down another Time Capsule to be placed on the very remote Scott Island in the Ross Sea.

In this airtight, waterproof sealed scubatank Time Capsule I will be placing Post Cards from around the World with a message to future generations from people who are concerned in the present that the whales be protected for the future.
I would like to invite you to send a postcard from your home town, or a post card photo of yourself, your children, family members or your pets or even a business card.

On the back just write a short note that you support our efforts to protect the whales and the Southern Oceans.
<snip>They are asking for donations but you can send a card with no donation.

If every friend sent $10 to support Operation Musashi in Antarctica that would give us $60,000 towards our costs. $20 would give us $120,000. So you can see that there is strength in numbers. If everyone gave something it would go along way towards funding our ship to get down to the Whale Sanctuary to stop the killing of the whales.

So send a donation if you can but do send a post card, photo or business card for the Time Capsule. I need all the cards by November 1st.

I will place it on the top of Scott Island myself and I'll post a picture of it being placed on MySpace.

The Capsule will bear a message requesting that it be undisturbed (Not that many people visit Scott Island) until 2109.

Let me deliver your card to Scott Island and into the next century.

Send to:
U.S.A. (Europeans, South Americans, Asians and Africans please send to U.S. address)
