Mrs. Williams' group (Madison, WI)
In this picture I see a person holding the strings of a big, red balloon. I also see other people in the background. I think these people are scientists at a research station. They could be in Alaska or the Arctic because it looks very snowy and it looks like they are in the middle of nowhere. They are dressed very warm. I have heard of scientists using balloons to study the weather or the atmosphere. I think it would be lonely and boring to live here. Hopefully they don't have to live here for a long time. I looks like there are machines, sensors and antennas on the roof of the building. Maybe these are for measuring weather data and sending communications. Do you think that these people made that balloon thing.

In this picture there is a big balloon. I like snow. I see 3 people. I think that there home in the back ground. By. Jefferson
Mrs. Williams' group (Madison, WI)
There is a balloon which is red. There are three people. I see snow. They are launching the balloon. by Yajurv

Basing off the infinite stretches of snow, I believe this photo was taken in the Arctic or somewhere extremely cold because the man's face is all pink. I think the figures in red are scientists who are releasing weather balloons to measure the location's atmospheric pressure, humidity, and temperature. Also, it appears that the scientists are staying in the building shown to the left because I don't see any modes of transportation. I am guessing that this photo was taken in the evening because the lamps are on.

Meadowlane Magic (Kitchener, Ontario)
We see a red blimp or a balloon with wires. There is a water tower. We think it is in Antartica because of the snow. There are 3 people. We think it may be something that tells the wind speed. We wonder how the red thing was made.
ble ble ble (cali)
It looks like a man in the snow. There appears to be two others in the background, one wearing the same red suit. It looks as if the man in front is putting up a balloon of some sort. Or, It may be a kite. Its possible that it could even be a blimp. On second thought, Maybe not a blimp. It looks like the kite has tent like poles on it. In the background there seems to be a building. Maybe a shack of some sort. Maybe that's where they get the red suits from.
Jack Whiteman (Boone, North Carolina)
It seems to me that this picture was taken in Antarctica, judging from the landscape and the suit that the man is wearing. It seems that they are in the process of launching a weather balloon.
Erin Medlock (NC)
It looks like this picture was taken in Alaska or Antarctica, it looks like they are doing some type of research. There is only a small building in the background and nothing else in sight.
Courtney Treadway (US)
In the photo there is a man who appears to be in a colder place such as Antarctica and it looks like he is flying some sort of balloon to test the weather.
Blake (NC)
It appears to be a blimp being used to test in Antarctica by some scientists. They could be testing some form of aerodynamics or how cold temperatures affect the blimp.
Harley (nc)
Based on the snow in the picture I think this photo was taken in Antarctica, where a man is studying either weather or climate change in the area.
Savannah (NC)
I think the balloon like thing is being used to do some type of test/experiment. I also see that this picture was taken in an arctic area because of the snow.
Mrs. Williams' group (Madison, WI)
@Savannah Thank you for your comment I got idea from that to Savannah from shreya
Jackson (NC)
This picture looks like a researcher using a balloon to test the conditions of the atmosphere for probably a variety of things. It looks like it is in Antarctica or somewhere really cold and probably includes testing global warming.
Madison (NC)
In this picture, I believe that a man is holding a blimp he has made. He seems to be admiring it because of the pleased expression on his face; this is probably a result of his pride in making it. It is very cold and this is why he is wearing so many layers.
Amy (CT)
@Madison I really like your take on this photo and your observation of the "pleased expression on his face." I didn't think about looking at emotions, but I think you are right that he is admiring the blimp or balloon. You said that the man is smiling because of "his pride in making it." I would disagree with that because I think he loves his work but didn't make the contraption. Moreover, I agree with you that the place is really cold--good observation on the layers!
Kenley (NC)
This looks like a balloon that they use to do tests in Antarctica. It doesn't look exactly like a weather balloon, but it could be. The building behind the balloon looks like the place with all the computers and stuff in it so they can track the results.
p (new zealand)
I think they are doing a experiment of the weather or testing it
Isabelle (pcs)
I think that they are testing weather or something with climate change.
Deborah (Texas)
Mrs. Cornelius' ACCESS class think that it is some sort of research may be in the Antarctic and they are trying to find out speeds of the wind, or predict the weather, or gather some sort of data from the red device.
daniel (vermont)
it looks like they are using a weather baloone to get date about the snow and ice.
Zsofi (Hungary)
This picture could have been taken somewhere in the Antarctic judging by the snow. In the background there can be a secret research station with a labour. Maybe the man is testing the air pressure or the wind force with the balloon. This can be a new discovery.
Alaric (Texas)
He is going to test some new tech.
Germayoni (Bowie ms)
I think the man is trying to find out the wind speed and direction also it can be he is looking for help or trying to find someone.
Jocelyn (Texas )
I I think is is trying not to let go of the balloon.
Germayoni (Bowie ms)
I think the man is trying to find out the wind speed and the direction is going or it can be he is looking for help. :3
Genavy (Texas )
I think the man is trying to get tell people where he is And he put a red balloon for they can see him.
Genavy (Texas )
I think the man is trying to get someone to see him, He used a big red balloon for they can see him
Mrs. Williams' 7th grade class (Texas)
We think that this is either a blimp or a wind balloon. It is possible that the scientists are testing wind conditions. It is very cold because of all of the snow. They must be in the Artic. They don't live there.
Mrs. Livingston's 2nd Grade (Ohio)
We think this picture was taken in the Arctic. We think the people are researchers that are retrieving the balloon and they will get information from the balloon about the environment and wildlife.
Dashawn (Texas)
@Mrs. Livingston's 2nd Grade I never would of thought of that
Lee Garcia (Texas)
@Mrs. Livingston's 2nd Grade I thought of that to .
Dunbar SHS (DC)
In this picture, it looks like the man is in the middle of nowhere and it looks like he is lost. Maybe it's a boat that is stuck. Maybe he is using the balloon to escape. I think this person needs help.
Raina (Vermont)
They are scientists trying to collect some sort of data. Maybe wind speed.
Angelina (Texas)
@Raina I think that he is doing research in wind speed to thanks for says no that in comments
Angelina (Texas)
@Raina I think that he is doing research in wind speed to thanks for saying this in comments
srvt (Saxtons River, VT)
Nathaniel I think that the scientists are gathering data. The data that they are collecting is to do with wind because one of the scientist is holding up a wind baloon. This space is reserved for scientists only because there is a fence surrounding them. They are probably in antartica or the north pole because the climate is very cold.
Nate (Vermont)
A man prepares to play with his personal kite at a renowned weather balloon research center.
Springer Grade 6 (Los Altos)
We think this is a weather balloon. Some of us think this could be in Greenland because we learned that climate change is having big effects there. This could also be in Antartica or the North Pole. There is a scientist in the background so we are thinking there are multiple experiments going on and they have to live in that hut. There is a fence around everything so this is a designated area for scientists.
Raina (Vermont)
@Springer Grade 6 It makes sense that the experiment would have something to do with climate change.
La Salle Sagrado Corazón 1 Bach C (Madrid, Spain)
Hola/Hello! We think that the picture is based on a scientific experiment. It is in the North Pole, and they are searching for data with a new technology, which involves a weird red balloon. Some of us think that it is a kite. Others think that is a blimp. We think that the buildings are where the scientists live or a military base or investigation centres. It might be an emergency alert. Maybe it could be something to control or know the velocity of the wind. Thanks for reading our opinion. We are excited to know the answer.
La Salle Sagrado Corazón 1 Bach A (Madrid, Spain)
We think that this image was taken in the North Pole, and in this image we can see a mini-blimp for investigation, and two investigators, and an investigation center. As we can see there is a lot of snow, we think that it is a type of project and the guy who has the mini-blimp wants to send it up so that the other people know where he is. Some of us think that it's an optical illusion because the man who is in front of the picture is not holding the blimp, and instead of him the two people who are at the back are holding it. Some of us believe that the people in the image are living in the North Pole investigating climate change.
srvt (Saxtons River, VT)
@La Salle Sagrado Corazón 1 Bach A Why do you think theyŕe in the north pole and what exactly are they investigating?
La Salle Sagrado Corazón 1 Bach A (Madrid, Spain)
@srvt We think they are in the North Pole because of the snow, and also the clothes that they are wearing. Maybe they are investigating something about the atmosphere or climate change. Sincerely, the students of La Salle Sagrado Corazón.
La Salle Sagrado Corazón 2 Bach A (Madrid, Spain)
We think it's a weather balloon and since you can see cables, it's in Alaska or Russia, not in the North or South Pole. We think that it's a science center. We think that it's a meteorological balloon, which has been pulled down or sent up. Some of us think that it's a signal for others to find out that they have discovered something or that they are in danger. It's a kind of balloon that you send into the atmosphere to take photos, and what happened is that the guy opened two at the same time, so they collapsed. Others think that maybe it is in the South Pole. The person is a scientist or maybe Santa Claus. Some of us think it could be a finish line of some kind of race.
Lemly (3rd Grade Elk Neck)
We think they're tracking the weather at the North or South Pole. I think the float has a camera in it. We're wondering how can that red balloon float because it's so cold there?
Hailey Dunne (Elmira High)
It looks like a lonely guy, in some place super cold, doing scientific studies of some sort.
J Donais pd. 2 English (St. Joes Windsor, ON)
We see a guy holding a balloon that is shaped like a blimp. The balloon is big and red. There is a snowmobile in the background. Snow and ice everywhere. The sky. Either a boat, house, cabin. There are 2 guys in the back working. Hydro poles. A small building in the back. We think It looks like it takes place in Russia because of the snow. It could be a lake house. We see a fence because of the posts sticking up out of the ground. We think it is some kind of science test because the man is trying to see what can make the blimp not fly. We think there is water in the far background. This might be the North or South Pole because of all the snow and hardly any buildings. We think there is a snowmobile so they can go for a ride. We think the guys in the back are fishing because they are looking down. Questions:Why is this happening? I would ask the guy with the balloon what he is doing. Why is work going on here? Are they cold? Why is the man holding the blimp? Why are there just three people? Why is there only one building and one shed but no others to be seen?
Asiel (Dalls)
You gave a lot of good resen
La Salle Sagrado Corazón 4B (Madrid, Spain)
In this picture we can see a group of scientists working with a balloon in the middle of nowhere. They could be in the North Pole or in the South Pole. We think they went there to attempt the challenge of making the balloon fly in the sky. Maybe they are ecologists. Some of us think that they are inspecting the air. The building they have behind them is maybe their lab and also the place where they work, sleep, and live. The smaller cabin might be and looks like a littler bathroom. Some of us disagree, and think that it's where they keep their materials. We like the balloon and the sky. We find the most interesting thing in this photo is the contrast between hot colours and cold colours.
Syed (Ohio)
I see a man sitting in the snow trying to signal the people of his ship for supplies needed for an experiment with a balloon.

@K your right
Camiah matthews (ohio)
Something thats going on with this picture is that its a guy on his knees holding it looks like a air bubble air plain with the string . And it looks like some people is working in the back putting up them stables.
Youngcolumbus A.K.A Micah Flowers (Ohio)
It looks like a guy in the north pole testing out a balloon or some thing.He might be going hang gliding or something.

i seen a man flying something
Mekhi Douglass Johnson (OHIO)
In this Picture it looks like a man is holding a Blimp. Also the man is in Antartica.
Corinne M Craven (Columbus Afrecentric Early College )
In this picture, it seems to me like a man has just made an invention, and he is trying it out. It looks like he is trying to get warm, because it looks like he is somewhere very cold.
Abreya H. (Columbus Ohio)
I see a man in the snow on the ground trying to hold a parashoot.
joshua marshawn wiley (ohio)
i see a man in antartica trying to test out the balloon or trying to tie it up and let it go.

In this picture I see a man and it look like he is in antarctica or somewhere out south.
shamiah (columbus)
This picture look like they in Antarctica and looks like hes holding a balloon trying to test it
ceangelo (school)
It appears to be a balloon,the man is letting it go.It seems to be messed up from something.
Azavier (California)
A man is holding a balloon. I see a man holding a balloon. I can only see a very snowy place, possibly in Antarctica.
Deanna (Ohio)
The guy is a meteorologist and is studying the weather. He is using a weather balloon to check what the temperature will be later.
SomeMentalKid (Somewhere)
I think hes trying to blow up a blimp or an emergency object.Hes definitely not something like praying to the blimp.
makiah (ohio)
There is an man holding some sort of hot air balloon.I see a big red thing in the sky unless its an kite.There is two men in the back i think they're setting up the same thing as the guy in the front.
Snipe God( Don't peek Zay) (Columbus,Ohio )
I see a dude holding a balloon. Cause I see him holding a red balloon up. I can find that it's cold outside. It is a lot of snow outside.
Skkkkkkkk (columbus,Ohio)
In this image there is a man in a winter coat. The man is holding up a big red balloon. It looks like he is using the balloon to test or measure the wind speed. And in the back there is a building that looks like a safe house.
Ashlei (columbus oh )
In this picture there a man that is holding a air balloon.In there are people in the back that is fixing something.They might been Antarctica or Alaska. They are probably testing the wind of speed of the balloon.
iman locke-smith (columbus,OHIO)
In this picture there is a man that has a red like suit on. It looks like he is in Antarctica. The man look like he has a big air balloon. Behind him there is like a factory or place with pipes on it. There is other people behind him doing something.The like air balloon is being held up by these strings the man is holding on to.
Terry (America)
I think this is a guy getting ready to blimp ski. Also I see a house in the back which is maybe a safe house. Also they are in a snoey biome. BTW im already tracer
Ghoul Trooper (Tilted Towers)
The picture is someone holding a blimp. It looks like a balloon. He´s holding it up while air goes in it. He is probably trying to make himself fly.
Daysha (Tokyo)
In this picture it is very snowy and cold. It looks like the balloon is ripped and they are trying to fix it kinda.
Hi (Texas )
@Daysha what do you think the balloon does
Bulldog Academy (Thomasville NC)
Place in Antarctica? Man is holing some sort of balloon to test the speed of wind? Looks like a safe house in the back.
Jaden (EMS)
In this picture it looks like there i s guy holding up a small blimp in the Arctic. In the back it looks like there is a bunker type structure. The bunker looks like it is where they sleep because there is nothing else around. The blimp looks like it is used to measure something unless they went to the Arctic and decided to fly a blimp for fun.
Reeee (Reee)
I think it’s the fortnite battle bus and there making the balloon on the battle bus there are also in the new fortnite map btw I’m already tracer
Ryleigh,T (LCMS)
First, In this photo I can see snow. This leads me to believe there is something going on in places of high altitude because it’s colder.In addition, I also see men wearing what looks to be something a scientist would wear. This makes me think they are scientists studying or researching something and they are performing an experiment. Lastly, I see snow on the building in the background which means it’s been there a long time. This shows that these people have been here a long time and are probably going to be staying a while. In total, this image shows that there are scientists in some high altitude area, for instance the mountains, and they are conducting experiments that will most likely take a prolonged amount of time.
kayin (georgia )
the person in putting up a weather balloon i can tell because hes in the new fortnite map and is at the research place.
Reeee (Reee)
@kayin I’m already tracer
olivia.B (Evans middle school)
It looks like the person is testing some sort of new blimp or hot air balloon.
richard harmon (EMS)
he is flying it to get someones attention
zaylee.w (EMS)
@richard harmon i dont agree with that he is testing something. think more visually
Hannah C. (Ems)
From what the blizzard shows there is a scientist using a blimp probably to measure the wind or how hard the wind blows.
Daniel M. (EMS)
This guy is stranded on a snowy place and wanting help. Therefore he is setting up a big colorful flag type thing for someone to notice him.
cole nelson (pcs)
this is someone in the arctic testing the wind in that area with a blimp or kite of some form. They want to know if a blizzard is on the way and if they can proceed with leaving the camp they are staying in.
Brianna Barcenas (Ennis Junior high)
he and his team are making a blimp for their company and stuff
cole nelson (pcs)
@Brianna Barcenas you do not explain why you think this. and using "and stuff" at the end of the sentence makes me thing you don't really have any idea whats going on in this photo.
alli,s (@ems)
I got it wrong but this is was more interesting.
Rachel (South Kitsap High School)
In this picture, there is a man dressed in orange holding an orange balloon - I think a weather balloon. The building in the back is probably a scientific outpost, so the man and the person in the background are probably scientists. Based on the snowy weather, I think this image was taken in Antarctica, or maybe in the Arctic Circle. Their thick suits implies it is very cold, and the bright orange color implies that they might be in a dangerous area, at risk of getting lost. The color of the building might also help them locate it if they stray too far away, or when they are coming to the outpost. The building has some things sticking out that are probably used to help the scientists connect to the outside world and send out their data to wherever they are from.
Mr. E's Class 4Even NET Academy (Norfolk, VA)
He works in Russia testing and building hot air balloons or blimps or whatever they call them. They might be putting it up because they might be lost or their family members
Enjoli (South Kitsap High School)
There are a few people all in heavy gear suits to stay warm. One seems to be flying an object that is avocado shaped with wings on the back. There is a shack in the background with many poles. I think that they may be in the arctic area doing a study on wind currents. I say this because in another area of the world there would be more buildings even if it had snowed. The shack also looks functional like what scientists would have, but nothing fancy for travelers or anything like that. A couple people in the back also seem to be taking notes or fixing the poles for some reason. Also on the back left side there’s a snowmobile, and in the very very back there is a little pole which must be a tower because it is so far away.
Justina (Bay Port High School)
This is happening in the Arctic, the guy in the orange suit is on his knees. He is holding up a big kite or ballon. There are three other people in the background.
Mr. E's Class 2Even NET Academy (Norfolk, VA)
The person is in the middle of Antarctica surrounded by a bunch of snow. It looks like he fell down. He looks like he is somewhere where there is not much around him. That little thing that you ride in the snow. What is it?
Mr. E's Class 1Even NET Academy (Norfolk, VA)
They are working on a project in Antarctica. It might be an illegal operation. it could be their land but they are running something illegal on it. What is in the building? It's probably got some people in their trying to eat. I thought it is like satellites. But to keep it 100 I don't even know what a satellite is. It could be an astronaut.
Larissa (Pcs)
I think that this man is holding some type of weather balloon, There is a big building behind him so maybe that is where they keep all of their data, There is also two other men by the building, they could be testing something else or testing the weather as well.
Mr. E's Class 4Odd NET Academy (Norfolk, VA)
Noticeable but unnoticed in the cold. Cold like my heart after a horrible day at court. Colder than the AC wind blowing in yo eybalz
Tian R (PCS)
I think there are people at a weather place, where they can test the weather. The building gives them information, and the giant balloon is going to tell them what the weather is like. I think they are looking for something in the weather to maybe find something they need information for.
Mrs. Brodeur's Group (Lenexa KS)
Scientist in Antarctica or Alaska are doing research with a weather balloon. They are ready to release it.
Mr. E's Class 2odd (Norfolk, VA)
I think it is in Alaska. What are the pipes or antennae on top of the houses? I think they are doing research.
Tai (Titletown)
It looks like this picture was taken in Alaska, and maybe they're at a research base. There is a man flying a red balloon that looks like a blimp, I don't know what for. There is a snowmobile for the researchers to get to places. There is snow all around them, so that's why I said that it looks like Alaska. A man is holding a red balloon that like a blimp. There is a small building that looks like it is for research purposes. I can see that he has a partner with him, and they look like they're doing something important, like it is their job.
jose (green bay wi)
Their are two men what looks like they are in Antarctica doing some research. It look like one of the men is holding a hot air balloon in his hands but at the same time its like a allusion because it looks like he not really holding it in is hands because he made it seem that he was by the angle of the picture. The tail of the balloon looks like its a full size because it looks bigger then the front end.and at the same time the other man is in the back looking like he working on something on the ground and he right behind the strings so it looks like he had the balloon. It looks giant because the man holding it went farther away from the building and his partner so therefor it look bigger then the building and why it looks like he's hold such a giant balloon.
Larissa (Pcs)
@jose I agree with this
Chida (Green Bay )
There is a man holding a ballon. It's take in somewhere cold with lots of snow. The picture has some building behind in the back and is cover in white snow Because you see how it's mostly cover in white snow and because you visual see a man holding a ballon. That they must be somewhere cold and with a lot of wind in the air because the ballon is floating.
juan (Green Bay WI.)
1. There is a guy holding a small red blimp in the guy and he looks like he might be struggling but not much. There are also two guys in the back one with a red suit and the other in black and you cant really pick up what they are doing. overall they are in the middle of nowhere with a lot of snow. 2. The snow, the blimp, and the 3 guys in the picture. 3. They have a little house to the left so it shows that they stay there. Also they have a snow mobile so they can get places. 2
Yahye (Green Bay )
the guy is testing balloons and he's doing an experiment to see if the balloons can fly in place that has a lot of snow. There's no one else there besides the guys who are testing the experiment.
Mrs. Brosi (Danville, Kentucky)
My 4th graders' comments: - A man flying a blimp that looks like a lantern in the snow. - A man flying something that will measure the weather. A research station is behind him. - A man trying to wrestle his tent down. - A mutant flying a fish buddy.
juan (Green Bay WI.)
@Mrs. Brosi I agree with what you said. Especially the him flying something to measure the weather is a good observation.
Sadie P. (CA)
A man is launching a balloon is this photo. He is in the arctic, and he is launching the ballon as a weather and climate monitoring device, to measure ice levels in the arctic.
Yahye (Green Bay )
@Sadie P. I agree with you
Fern P (Putney Central School)
To me it looks like they are doing some kind of science experiment in Antarctica. I say that because it seems as though they are experimenting with wind, and Antarctica is one of the windiest places on the planet. There is also a lot of snow and it is very flat. Two out of the three people in the picture have matching suits and the building in the background looks sort of like a research station.
Burno (South Florida)
I think this is England because it already started to snow there. I think they were flying with a parachute and got tired so they stopped here to use the bathroom and go to sleep.
Ms. Hayley (Phoenix, AZ)
Hello, me again! I am a special education teacher at Arizona Autism Charter Schools. Below are my classes inferences on what is going on in the picture- -They are in the north flying a kite shaped like a blimp -They are using the red balloon in North Alaska -They are saying "and they said we can't fly kites in the winter..." -They are using a red balloon to find the weather -They are going on a rescue mission to find someone who is lost -They are eskimos flying a blimp -Scientists are testing the weather with a blimp-kite -In Alaska, someone is setting a red blimp as a weather device for that place, since it's really cold -Weather balloon launches in Alaska -They are going to fall off the bump, so they are trying to get off and help those who are lost -I think they are releasing a weather balloon -They are holding a red blimp down in the snow We can't wait to see what the caption is!
carol (sms)
I think that this dude is trying to send a signal to someone because they are lost in antartica and they need warmth. The other thing I thought was he lives there and he is making a blimp.
Chida (Green Bay )
@carol Now that you say that, I think they were testing the weather in Antartica or simply test something.
yuli (sms)
There's this means trying to make things work. This man in the red suit is trying to make this big balloon work, and let it go so people know where they are located.
Jacob.b (sms)
I think this guy is trying to fly a kite in the sky in the winter time at nite.
Peach (SMS)
What I think going on here is , A air balloon controlled by wind to district it to different spots to help people out , Also what else I think going on is it in the north of south pole Nere the other half of the world and is for the sermones. Why I think this is because of the man suit and how there a hole in the bottom of the ballon .
Mrs. Barrett's Group (Batavia, NY)
Jamari - They are doing an experiment on this balloon. They want to see where the best place is for it to work. Sonny - They are in Antarctica experimenting to see how the weather balloon will react. Michael - I think they are going to put the balloon up in the air and if someone needs help they will look for the balloon. Mrs. Barrett - I think this is a weather balloon in Alaska. I think they use this balloon to get data about the weather in the north and use it to predict what the weather will be further south.
Cooper (SMS)
it is in alaska and a men is traing to get the ballon down
Justina (Bay Port High School)
@Cooper I agree with you that this could be in Alaska.
noah (sms)
In this photo I think this is a experiment that is being taken in Antarctica. I think this because well there's snow everywhere. I feel that they are testing the oxygen levels up there. This might just also be a part of a bigger experiment.
jose (green bay wi)
@noah great observation you might be right they are trying to test the oxygen level in the air
Ms. Maggie's Awesome Class (Homer, Alaska)
We think that this is a weather balloon to gather information about the weather. We think this is happening in Antarctica because it looks extremely cold and the building looks familiar from other pictures. It could also be in Alaska.
Fern P (Putney Central School)
@Ms. Maggie's Awesome Class I agree with you! it does seem like they're in Antarctica trying to get data about the wind/weather. I think it's really observant of you to notice the building's similarity with other buildings we've seen before.
Donnovan (pcs)
i think these people are in the arctic and they are either testing something or experimenting or or trying to learn about something and they think they are gonna do it with this weather balloon maybe they are trying to find the weather or something but i think they are looking for the weather
phoebe w (pcs)
I think that a man is flying a kite/ balloon for some sort of science project. I say that because he is definitely flying a kite/ balloon but I doubt its for fun so its probably has to do with a project. I also see that there somewhere cold because of the snow and there snow suits, maybe Antarctica or the north pole.
miles (putney central)
There appears to be a group of men in a snowy, desolate part of the world. The man in the front appears to be testing a blimp of some sort, possibly testing what extreme conditions it can withstand. This photo appears to be taken in either the morning or evening, maybe when the environment is coldest.
Maggie (SKHS)
This photo takes place in the arctic. It is a research center and far from any civilization. There is a man preparing a balloon to study something like the wind. It is very cold and they are trying to stay warm. I see lots of snow and ice. The people are wearing lots of thick clothes with fur to stay warm. The snowmobile is their only mode of transportation. The two people in the background are taking notes about something.
Jayden Cook (South Kitsap High School)
It looks like there’s a few men in maybe antarctica or the north pole? They may be testing something like the air or water there. There’s a small shed type thing that they may be living in. One guy is testing a huge blimp. May be it’s for testing the wind.
Brynna (SMS)
This picture is taken somewhere where it's very cold, there is snow, there is a red building in the background.It looks like it's getting dark outside. I think the man is testing a blimp, because it look like one and he's holding the string so it don't fly away.
Julia (SMS)
It looks like the men are in Alaska were it is very cold because there's snow everywhere. Its probably below 0 at night time. Its looks like there trying to get some help by blowing up the red balloon thing.
miles (putney central)
@Julia I think you're right about the environment aspect, although I think they may just be testing some part of the blimp.
Ciara LaRue (South Kitsap High School)
This picture was taken somewhere where that is very cold and deserted. I know this because there is snow surrounding everything the men in the picture are all dressed for freezing conditions. Additionally, there is no other sign of living life other than the men and the jet ski in the background indicates the men were only visiting. Another thing I noticed was that the men were scientists of some sort. This is since the man in the center seems to be testing the wind with the blimp he is holding, seeming very focused. The last thing I observed was that this picture was taken either in the early morning, or at dusk.
Stephanie (Daytona Beach)
-This image shows 3 scientists/researchers in a remote location, possibly Alaska or Greenland, preparing for a test with a large red balloon. This could be a test for alterations in atmospheric pressure due to climate change, or to record wind patterns in the area. They need the remote location so the test will not interfere with any airplanes or other air crafts. -I suggest the figures to be scientists/researchers because it looks like the man in the forefront is conducting a test or experiment, while the 2 figures in the background are taking notes and preparing to record results. This looks like a remote location because there is no evidence of a nearby town or city. Also, the snowmobile in the background looks like their only mode of transportation to this particular area. I think the red balloon is testing something with the air/atmosphere because it's so large and looks built to travel really high/far. -The balloon has 3 wings/flaps which may be used to control its movement.
Lauren (Watchung Hills Regional High School)
The setting has a lot of snow and it looks very cold there. The guy is setting up what looks like a weather blimp or balloon. This is probably for a scientific experiment of some sort.
Shreya (WHRHS )
I think that this is an experiment that someone is testing. I think it has something to do with weather and that maybe he is holding a weather balloon.
Mrs. Winstead's BRAINS class (3rd grade) (Newnan, Georgia)
As a class we are discussing and working on inferences. We all studied the picture, made observations, and concluded that the image is of a group of scientists that are working on a weather experiment. The building in the picture is their laboratory and the men are out testing or repairing a weather blimp. The location is an arctic tundra, as it has little life and it covered in snow.
Chrzanowski's Crew (Southern Regional Middle School)
Our class thinks that the men in the picture are scientists. Based upon the building in the background, we believe they are at a research station in Antarctica. The balloon the man is holding is a weather balloon that will be used to measure how strong the winds are or how much moisture is in the air.
8th Grade Varmahlíðarskóli (Iceland)
Most of us students think that this is research station, possibly on the North Pole. The blimp is conducting weather research because of global warming.
Alisson Becker (Tel aviv)
There is a man holding a kite, he lives in Antarctica They wear red to looks bold and special
Yoav (Israel)
I think that the man is parking is balloon after it traveld around areas that they cant reach. And i think its in Antarctica.
Ido blau (Israel )
It is a weather ballon in Alaska .
phoebe w (pcs)
@Ido blau I did not think that it could have to do with the weather but that is a very good guess.
Donnovan (pcs)
@Ido blau ... Alaska has mountains and is very rocky with hills and that's a very bold statement
Daniel Berman (Isreal)
There is a very happy boy that’s playing with a gaint balloon in a very cold place that is very lonely. Lives with his parents alone no one close to them and just likes life
Yael (Israel)
I think it’s kite which can only be used at snow
Liam Sofiyoff (Tel-Aviv)
In this picture this man is hilding a weather baloon and he releases it in the air so the can collect weather information in several countries
Noa (Israel)
I think that this is a researcher, likely somewhere in the Arctic, that is using a weather balloon to measure atmospheric conditions.
Meirav (Inzelberg)
I think it is in Frosty Floght in season 7 in fortnite. It happened after the update.
Tomer (Tel Aviv)
There is a man holding a kind of balloon. It looks like they are in Antarctica. They could be conducting experiments. It looks very windy. There is also what looks like a station. The people are dressed in red and the balloon is also red. This might be because the colour red is easy to see especially in the snow.
Katherine English (Brisbane )
There is a man holding a kind of balloon. It looks like they are in Antarctica. They could be conducting experiments. It looks very windy. There is also what looks like a station. The people are dressed in red and the balloon is also red. This might be because the colour red is easy to see especially in the snow.
SY (Ontario)
This picture might took around Antarctic because in there’s only snow and ice in the background. The red balloon is a kite balloon it’s a kind a weather balloon that survey wind direction and speed. So I assume the house beside is the weather station and there also have some equipments on the roof.
King Isaac (South Florida)
I see a balloon that has lights inside of it, a snowmobile, three people, and a locator with an antenna. I think the man with the red balloon is celebrating Christmas because he is wearing red.
Carolina L. (LCMS)
This picture was taken somewhere where that is very cold and deserted. I know this because there is snow surrounding everything the men in the picture are all dressed for freezing conditions. Additionally, there is no other sign of living life other than the men and the jet ski in the background indicates the men were only visiting. Another thing I noticed was that the men were scientists of some sort. This is since the man in the center seems to be testing the wind with the blimp he is holding, seeming very focused. The last thing I observed was that this picture was taken either in the early morning, or at dusk. I can infer this since there is a mere ray of sunlight in the background. Based on this evidence, there are scientists out in a frigid location experimenting the wind for data at sunrise or dusk.
Shurts (south kitsap)
i see a man in red snowsuit holding strings from a red balloon or blimp thing, in the back is a snowmobile and this red orange house looking thing. and other people in the back ground.
Mrs. Zimmermaker (Mesa Verde Middle School)
We are a 7th and 8th grade class in California. Our inferences are that the blimp-shaped balloon being held by a man who is either an engineer or scientist and that's being used to test the weather and how it pertains to global warming along with its effects. We inferred that the man is either an engineer or scientist because of the suit he is wearing and what he is trying to measure with the balloon.
Nunez (Pharr)
We can infer that the people are at Antarctica because there is a lot of snow and there doesn't seem to be other people or buildings there. We can also infer that the people are scientists because it seems that they are doing a job in the middle of nowhere.
Keily (Washington)
1. In this picture, there is a man in a red snow suit and he is kneeling in the snow holding a huge kite thing that matches what he is wearing because of the red. The kite thing is shaped as blimp but not as big. There is some sort of small house in the background with a bunch of stuff all around it. There is also a snowmobile and it the daytime with clouds in the sky and huge flat land with snow covering all of it. 2. I see the man holding the giant kit blimp and he is sitting on the snowy ground. 3. I also noticed that he is not alone because there is two other men in the background and one is wearing the same suit as the guy holding the blimp. Also the red contrasts from the light blue cloudy sky.
Logan Hope (south kitsap high school)
• What is going on in this picture? • What do you see that makes you say that? • What more can you find? In this picture there is a man in the slow preparing to launch a weather balloon or some other scientific instrument. I think this because there are antenne on the shack that, also why else would you choose to live in the antarctic. I believe it is the antarctic because there are no visible mountains.
Simmons (portorchard)
i think it is a man with a blimp like kite. i see a man holding a blimp like kite. i can see two other people in the background and a snowmobile in the background. and a little hut to the left.
ethan kemp (SKHS)
Ethan Kemp 12/11/18 P.2 In this photo it looks like a man is letting a type of kite or balloon go. The man looks like he could be in antarctica or greenland or somewhere that is flat and snowy. Both men in the photo are wearing all red and the balloon is also red.
Cole (Port Orchard, WA)
In the picture there is a guy putting up a blimp like thing maybe looking for the wind or a decoration. It could also be a setup of a real life fortnite season seven. The camp and endless snow suggest that the site of this picture is near one of the poles.
Joe Bob (South Kitsap High School)
• What is going on in this picture? There is a man in a big winter coat with matching pants kneeling in the snow anchoring a red rocket-looking thing. He is somewhere really cold, probably a research station judging by the background. • What do you see that makes you say that? There is a lot of snow, with no dirt in sight. The shelter also has snow caked on the sides, meaning it is very cold and snowy in the area. This could be a science operation because how the place is marked off with poles in the ground. Their trials need to be precise and accurate. • What more can you find? There is a light over the building, and what looks like a green electrical box for a generator maybe, or they are connected to a town somewhere.
brian (South Kitsap high school)
there is a guy that is trying to determine what the weather is going to be by using a weather blimp while they are in some place that is obviously cold maybe like Antarctica or somewhere in the Arctic to make sure that no bad weather surges are coming in the near future to insure there safety from the cold or something.
TK (SKHS Port Orchard WA.)
What is going on in this picture? There is a person in some snowy place with a weather balloon up in the air. Behind the person and the balloon, there is an outpost of sorts with a couple people next to it. What i think is happening is that these people are on an expedition in antarctica testing the temperatures and climate there throughout the day. What do you see that makes you say that? The person in the front is holding what looks like a weather balloon, and there are other people in the back on the ground doing something, maybe taking note of what is happening to the balloon? What more can you find? This photo was taken by Esther Horvath, she was taking photos of people in the Arctic doing scientific research about how we can better understand the polar regions
Bobcats.13 (TX)
My First grade class can infer that they are in a cold place such as Antarctica and the man in the red suit is testing a blimp to see if he can get it to fly for a mission.
8B Humanities (Chestermere, AB, Canada)
There is a minature toy-like blimp floating in some sort of Arctic research center. This prediction is further helped by the fact that there are two other "researchers" in the background and a base-like building in the background, along with a snowmobile for transportation. The researchers could be using the blimp to check the weather or atmospheric conditions, or they could use it for transport by tying it to some sort of base.
Mark (Crooms Academy)
My guess is that this is a researcher, likely somewhere in the Arctic, that is using a weather balloon to measure atmospheric conditions.
Sky (Florida)
This is clearly an offering to their personal savior. Even a possible means of communication or travel. In order to speak with their savior, they must first arrive and complete an initiation into the sacred paradise. This blimp is the only alternative to levitation in order to greet their god, anything else would leave their god in disappointment. Not rage, but disappointment, something your mom would be. But this balloon is going to no mother, but to their god, who is most likely above the frozen tundra they are already in, why else would they make the balloon here? Don't answer that, it's rhetorical.
isaiah vargas (USA )
They are probably researching the temperature from now to back then to see if the temperature is the same or not due to global warming. (its a good idea to research here because no people were here to make a cause or effect, except the scientist.
Blanca (Pharr Tx. )
As a first grade classroom we think that this is a picture of a scientist who is testing a new parachute. We can infer this due to the fact that there is not a lot of people and they are out in the middle of no where.
Tian R (PCS)
@Blanca I think they are testing the weather for something.
Peter From Family Man (Pakistan)
This one really took me a while to understand, but after I was able to get it I realized it's a real knee slapper. So lets get into it, basically there is this guy in a red hoodie. This really made me LOL(roll on the floor laughing) because red doesn't blend in with the snow and he is prone to being attacked by predators. For how smart some scientists are it surprises me that they don't understand this simple fact (millennials am I right?). Now this balloon like device they are using is for measuring air. I'm pretty sure this is pointless because there is too much air to measure (I think this is what we call a mood). The scientist will then use the balloon to eliminate the squads in tilted towers. After hitting the chug jug and acquiring a golden scar he will move on to get the epic victory royale. Anyways, I hope I was able to help! - Snans Underal
Zheko Mihaelov Kishishev (Bulgaria)
@Peter From Family Man thank you very cool! keep up the good work!
Zach f. (Crooms)
I believe that this photo is about an arctic researcher that is releasing a weather balloon to monitor the weather conditions and pollution, and to see what can be done about it.
Andy (Florida)
Fortnite season 7
Haley Allen (Tilted Towers)
I think it is finding out which direction the wind is going. They have things at the beach that look similar to it.
Adrian Martinez (Sanford)
I think that a scientist is creating a small zeplin to scout out the area or maybe its just a marker for to know where is camp at.
Zenen Himes (Crooms AOIT)
They are testing a weather balloon in what looks like either the north or south pole. That is because the man seems like he's holding the device before letting go and that they have a custom antenna, probably to read the data.
Oliver (Florida)
There is a person who I am assuming is a scientist hold a red (weather) balloon and taking researching the wind wherever they are. They are staying in some sort of shack, and it doesn't look like they like there. There is not much else going on in this picture.
Omar Drammeh. (Sanford/Crooms Academy.)
Good morning, There appears to be some kind of research going on.
Logan (Florida)
This is a rare photo of a man actually preparing the newest rendition of the Battle Bus for Fortnite: Battle Royale.
TKR (Crooms Academy Of Information Techology)
I think that this is a scientist trying to test out a weather balloon in the cold somewhere in the Eastern Hemisphere, doing research about the weather.
Randy Howard (Flordia)
It looks like they are going on the zip lines and about to get o the planes like in fortnite and earn that #1 victory royale.
Nolan Thomas (Crooms Academy of Info Technology )
I Think than it is some sort of device that could either measure the wind speed or temperature. It seems to be like they are in Alaska or Antarctica.
Zheko Mihaelov Kishishev (Bulgaria)
@Nolan Thomas Very cool idea bro! Kishishev out!
Sarah (Florida)
It looks like a research camera float thing and he is seeing if it actually works
Colin (Crooms)
A guy is holding down a balloon and he looks cold. The reason I say that is because he is actually holding the balloon and its snowing. He is probably living in this area for science or exploring.
Anthony Zeiser (Florida)
I'm not really sure what is going on but i think they are testing air pressure in Antarctica or something, it looks like they're at a science facility in Antarctica and they are doing research there
jean-carlos (crooms high school)
I think a guy made a kite to catch air because the artic is cold and he needs air
Braden (FL)
I think this person is raising a weather balloon into the sky. I think this because they're standing by what looks like a research facility. The facility has ladders leading up to the top, which is something people would never do unless they wanted to observe something. I also see a snowmobile, which means these people must be traveling for some reason. Perhaps its to retrieve the balloon if it gets away.
Alex (Crooms AOIT)
It is clear that this is a picture of a group out side of their base setting up something in an arctic like environment. It may be possible that they are setting up some kind of weather balloon for environment or atmospheric testing?
Jacob (Florida)
A guy is holding something in his hand. What makes me say that is because you can clearly see him holding it. I can see a building and two other people.
Kenneth Moore (Florida)
Scientists are doing research Antartica to find the effects of low temperature or a specific type of gas.
Mrs. Allen's 2nd Grade (Ohio)
We noticed that the balloon the man is holding looks like a weather balloon and that the building behind him looks like it could be a weather station. We also noticed that it appears they are in Antarctica or the North Pole based on the snow and cold. We also noticed a snow mobile in the background and other workers. We think that they could be using the balloon to either warn people about bad weather that is coming or to get more information and research the weather.
Emma (Florida)
A man in Antarctica is using a weather balloon to find out how cold it is.
fdsijg7wt (987216875 nfvxbjhdgvuysng)
a man is praising the holy blimp
Cody (Crooms)
I think they are studying the weather in some arctic place to maybe help better understand something like weather or how animals behave or something.
Hunter Johnson (Crooms Academy of Information Technology)
As the sun is quickly setting over the Antarctic planes, a lone survivor of a shipwreck, now frozen in ice and snow, frantically tries to attach his thin, frail body to the last remaining weather balloon. He only has minutes to life himself from the ground before the sun falls, for tonight, the broken heaters won't save him from Death's icy hand.
Christian R. (Florida)
A person is researching something in Antarctica, maybe because of the red blimp the guy is holding up. It is hard to tell what is really going on, but research looks like the best possible guesstimate.
Sean Grubbs (Crooms AOIT)
He is releasing a weather balloon in Antarctica, i say this because he is in the middle of nowhere in some snow, about to release a balloon. i also see some more dudes in the background
Amon Guerrero (FL)
It looks like they are testing a new hot air balloon for below zero conditions. Seems like they are at some kind of science facility which is indicated by the matching red uniforms and small hut in the background.
Jazlyncomet (Hanover Horton high school)
I don't really know whats going on, but it looks like there is some kind of research facility. I'm guessing there are scientist there trying to figure out something to do with the wind. Maybe they are trying to figure out if the wind is strong enough to do something, or maybe they are seeing about something else, its hard to tell.
Shelby Comets (jackson michigan)
I believe in the picture scientist are doing research. I know this because they have many tools and even a hut. I also think the scientists are testing the weather. I know this because he has the red balloon in the air. Finally I think they are in Antarctica. I know this because it is very cold there and it is snowing. Therefore, the picture shows scientists, in Antarctica, testing the weather
Zenen Himes (Crooms AOIT)
@Shelby Comets It could also be the north pole. Without any wild life and no sense of direction of the sun it is hard to tell.
anthony comet (hanover)
In this picture there is a scientist in Antarctica holding a red weather balloon. There are a total of three scientists outside of their station. It looks to me like they are testing the antarctic weather for changes to see if it is a cause of global warming. I notice that there is a rope fence that is on the side of the path which is used to guide the scientists through the terrain it also makes sure no one gets lost just in case of bad weather.
ethan comet (horton)
It looks like a group of scientists are deployed in like the Arctic. you can tell by the little outpost in the middle of nowhere. there is some type of air or weather experiment happening. My guess is a weather balloon.
Chloe Comet (Hanover, MI)
This is a picture from what I'm assuming is Antarctica. It looks like a scientist testing something. I think it could be a weather balloon and he is testing the weather. It looks freezing cold as you can see by the snow and that everyone there is so bundled up.
Room215 (Milton )
We think this picture is about scientists stationed in a remote part of the Artic testing the density of air using a hot air balloon.
Lainey S. (LCMS)
In the picture it looks like some kind of research center. I know this because there are different kinds of poles and wires that are in the ground or on the building. Additionally, the guy in the front of the picture is wearing some sort of suit that looks like something people wear when they test things and also the guys in the background seem to be testing something in the snow. The picture takes place in a cold setting perhaps like antarctica. I know this because of the snow on the ground and on the building. In Addition, the guy is wearing gloves and a hat to keep warm. Furthermore, the balloon in the picture is used as a weather balloon. I know this because of the bright colors of the balloon to stand out in the sky and the wires in the balloon can be used to track weather patterns. Based on evidence provided in the picture there is research of some kind going on in antarctica and a weather balloon in being released into the sky.
Elizabeth (GA)
I think they are scientists studying the weather in Antarctica or the north pole. They could be using the balloon for testing experiments of different sorts.
EAL (Canada)
We think that it's morning. I know this because the shade of the sky. We think no one lives there. I know this because there are no houses or trees. The only person who would like there is Santa. We think it is Antarctica or Alaska. I know this because in Alaska it is cold and the snow covers the house there. We wonder if it was freezing cold there and there are no trees to give oxygen, how do people breathe? We think it is an experiment. I know this because why would you use a big balloon just for fun in such a cold place?
Xavier C (SKHS)
maybe a proto type blimp with a camera to view the terrain or might be to mark the locate
Emanuel (port orchard)
What is going on in this picture? A guy floating a balloon like blimp on to the arctic air What do you see that makes you say that? That the other guy in the distance is opening a balloon blimp And make it float in the sky What more can you find? A house a bathroom the antenna in the far distance and the snowspeeder
John (Somewhere...)
@Emanuel Snowspeeder?
Bryce D. (Ottawa)
@Emanuel - Add more information to your inferences and examples.
Tayler Dodge (Seattle Wa)
WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS PHOTO? A man seems to be holding onto some sort of balloon, maybe it is for a science experiment of some sort or maybe he was hiking to the top of the mountain and planned to let that off when he got to the top. Or it is a weather balloon he is holding WHAT DO YOU SEE THAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT? Well there is a building that looks to have been there a long time, they might be working in there on an experiment or an environment experiment of some sort. It may be a weather balloon because I know they use those. WHAT MORE CAN YOU FIND? I can not find more in this picture.
maryjane hawkins (skhs)
In this picture it had snowed so there is snow everywhere almost like there was a blizzard. There is a guy that is on his knees and what looks like he is letting off a hot air balloon maybe? There is a building behind him and im guessing thats where the people stay to keep warm.
jimmy neutron (the milky way)
There's a guy in a red coat holding a red, like blow up blimp balloon type thing, everything there is red except what looks like a building and a person, the person and whatever the cube thing in the background is, is green but the balloon, the 2 people, and the snowmobile are red, there's snow everywhere, and the guy holding the blow up thing looks happy, maybe they are doing an experiment, because the 2 in the background look like they are going to record how far it goes, or something like that, they look like they are looking at something so i could only assume they are looking at where it lands and recording it
XD (SKHS)
What i believe is going on in the picture is a research team in a somewhere like Antarctica or Greenland are doing research with weather. I believe this because of the large weather balloon in the man's hand.
Kaya P. (SKHS)
In this picture there is a man holding what i think to be some kind of weather tracking device. It is a big red balloon that is shaped like a blimp. He seems to be in a very cold place with a small shack behind him. I think he may be some sort of weather researcher and is trying to collect data with some kind of device or experiment and he is staying in, or collecting data in the shack. It is what i see and it is what makes the most sense in my mind. I can't find anything else until they post it.
Marissa (Port Orchard)
The setting is snowy, possibly in the arctic circle. There is a research camp set up in the background. The main subject of the photo is a man setting up a red windsock device. I think the people in the research project are doing a test on the air quality of the environment based on the wind socket seen. I can also find little posts set up in the background.
Donavin B (SKHS)
1. After looking closely at the image above (or at the full-size image), think about these three questions: • What is going on in this picture? • What do you see that makes you say that? • What more can you find? To mee it looks like a group of scientist are doing research in antarctica it looks like they are doing something with a weather blimp. They are surrounded by snow and behind the guy it looks like its his command center then it looks like a weather blimp. There is people in the back working on something else while the guy is trying to get the blimp to be able to fly.
Andy (Florida)
@Donavin B Nice description, but did you really have to put the question in?
Adeline M (SKHS)
This picture shows a man holding on to a small blimp. The area around him is covered in snow. There appears to be a shack set up behind him and possible research equipment. This leads me to assume that this man and his team are researchers in Antarctic. The blimp may be a type of advanced weather balloon.
Mia T. (LCMS)
In this picture, it seems like it is early in the morning or later in the afternoon. I know this because it looks like the sun is either rising or setting in the background. It looks very cold outside also. I know this because the men in the photo are wearing coats and there is snow on the ground. These men look as if they are doing so kind of weather experiment. I know this because the man in the front of the picture is hold a large contraption above himself in the air. This could mean that the man is testing the air pressure or perhaps the air temperature. All in all, the men in the picture are doing a weather experiment, in the winter time, in the early morning or late afternoon.
Mr. Gray's DE Fine Arts Survey (Pineville, LA)
It is clearly Santa's elves finding a more innovative way to deliver presents across the world. The red zeppelin floats in stark contrast to the small, sad, sullen snow sled in the background to the right.
Fiona (pcs)
I believe that they are somewhere in the arctic and the person in the image, possibly a scientist is holding up a weather balloon. What they are doing may be related to studying the climate.
Mikayla.G (il)
I think that there blowing up a weather balloon that tells what weather is coming. and I see men in the background and I think they're blowing up another balloon for another man.
Ms. Nimeh's Class (Penfield,NY)
We infer that scientists in Antarctica are testing the weather with a prototype weather balloon. Maybe they are climate scientists studying the temperature at the South Pole.

We have come to the end of our moderation of today's discussion, our last for 2018! Thank you all for joining in and adding your observations and thoughts to it. We invite you to return this week on Thursday afternoon for the posting of more information about this photo. We wonder how this additional information impacts your view of the image. We wish you a restful and enjoyable holiday season and look forward to welcoming you back on January 7th, 2019 with more to see and discuss together.

Absolutely brilliant
Sophia G. (LCMS)
In this photo, there is a man, possibly a scientist, holding a blimp to test the climate. I know this because, behind him there is a little building with different equipment on its roof. The man may be holding the blimp to test the climate change, being if there may be different equipment on the blimp as well. The man and the two other present people in the background, may be in Antarctica to test. I know this because snow covers the landscape completely in the picture. Additionally, the people in the photo seem to be wearing heavy, warm clothing, hats, gloves, and snow boots. Furthermore, the blimp could also be a weather balloon. I know this because, again, the people in the photo may be testing the climate or weather in the cold, arctic area they are in. Based on the evidence, a group of scientists are in the Arctic, using a blimp or weather balloon, to test the change in weather or climate.
Sofia (Texas )
In the picture, I can see that there is a guy holding a red blimp in place in what seems to be a somewhere like Antarctica or Alaska. There is also a building in the background of the picture along with other people and the area seems to be fenced, so maybe they are scientists conducting an experiment in different environments. They could also possibly be using the blimp to test maybe the air of the climate of the place.

In the picture, I can see someone putting together a large balloon I feel is a weather balloon. I say this because most weather balloons are put in uncharted temperature areas like where that balloon is. Also, they have a base with what seems to be like a lab that they could be using for analyzing all of the weather and temperatures of the area. Lastly is that the man in the middle with the balloon seems to be attaching something to the balloon. That item he puts on might be a weather balloon piece.
Diego Of tiptons class (US)
In this image there is man in a red suit holding what appears to be a red blimp. They are in a very remote location seeing that there appears to be about three people. The man in the red jumpsuit is preparing to release this balloon into the skies of Antarctica. I believe that balloon was made to survey the area and measure the climate or it was possibly constructed to do research in this particular region and record and document their findings.
Evan D (LCMS)
They are experimenting somewhere in the cold, possibly Antarctica. I know this because there is some sort of science lab and a man setting up a contraption. The man is the front is testing something, maybe the wind or something to do with the temperature. I know this because the man in the front is holding something like a kite that is inflated, because it’s catching something like wind. The people or scientist are in very harsh living conditions. I know this because the building in sight is a very small cube, and there is three people that need to live in there. Based on the evidence, I know that There is a group of people working in a place maybe Antarctica, and they are possibly experimenting on wind or temperature, also these people are in harsh living conditions.
Victoria K (LCMS)
In this picture, it’s taken in a cold environment. I know this because there is a lot of snow covering the ground and the man is wearing a big snow jacket and snow pants. Secondly, the man may be testing out the winds speed and direction. I know this because he is holding a balloon that has a specific shape that can help with measuring the wind. Furthermore, the people are staying there for a while. I know this because there is a small building in the background that may be where they rest and it can also be their lab where they test everything out. In conclusion, there are a small group of men , in an arctic environment, testing out the winds features.
Victoria A (Texas)
What I see in this image is three men doing different things as there is one who is holding a large red balloon that also looks similar to a blimp. I can also see a small building behind the man and the balloon having me believe this could be some type of experiment that they are trying to conduct. I think that this also taken place in Antartica seeing as the whole entire biome is covered in snow as well as the year this is taken could be taken place somewhere in the 2010's judging by the appearance on the snowmobile.
Isabella (Ms. Tipton's class)
The picture shows a cold area, Antartica perhaps. In this picture I think that the three people are scientist testing a blimp they created. In the back of the image there are poles evenly separated forming a circle, this could be a boundary the blimp can't cross when being tested. The three people have designed a new and easier way to make a blimp.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Isabella Welcome to our discussion today. You have introduced the idea that the people in this picture are testing out the object they have created and have also observed poles in the background that might define the limits in which their testing can take place. What do you see that makes you say they have designed this blimp and that perhaps it is an easier way?
Ware (In Mrs. Tipton's Class)
This picture appears to be taken in what I think is Alaska. This was probably taken in the night time hours because there are lights that are turned on everywhere. The blimp may be some type of weather balloon. The men dressed in red are the weather men trying to figure out how the weather will go on a later date. The shacks in the back looks as though they haven't been used in a long period of time but the picture was definitely taken recently.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Ware You have provided your evidence for thinking this is taking place in the night time. What do you see that makes you say "shacks" and what shows the buildings have not been used in a long time? You are also quite certain this picture was taken recently and I wonder what information you see in this photo that suggests that?
Selene (Texas)
In this image there is a clear abundance of snow as well as a large and prominent red balloon that a man seems to be holding. In the distance towards the left, there is a small red building covered in snow, as well as a few other people. If I were to make an inference as to the cause of this image being taken, I would infer the group of people are scientists and they are studying the polar invironment.
May (WHRHS)
I think this picture was taken somewhere cold and the red balloon might be used to collect data for weather.
Mr. Schumann's Class (Beach MS)
A group of scientists or researchers are launching a weather balloon in Antarctica
Pramity (WHRHS)
This is a scientist who’s holding a kite and testing the winds.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Pramity You are identifying the profession of this person to be that of a scientist and the work involves testing winds. What do you see that shows testing the winds is taking place?
Ally (Whrhs)
The man is trying to fly a red man made kite in the air. He is somewhere where there is a lot of snow. The kite and his clothes are red which maybe means he is trying to spread communism.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Ally You mention the snowy location and the color of the clothing and kite like object, suggesting it is man made. What do you see that makes you say "man made" as opposed to machine made? And what do you see that makes you say the action in the picture is political in nature? Clearly, we want to hear more. Thank you for adding to our discussion today.
Erin Cobb (NRMS Mrs. Tipton's Class)
This is a team of researchers in either the Antartic or the north pole. I'm assuming that the building in the back is a weather station and the balloon the man in red is holding is a weather balloon. Maybe these researchers are performing a test to see how the weather is going to be for the following days since it is such a remote location.
andy lopez from ms tiptons class (elpaso tx)
this man is an obvious gamer, and is out in the cold of the arctic to show his skill in flying big red balloons an his skills at aerodynamics and math. the balloon is meant to scare away the other animals in the area because they interfere with his work. he has other fellow companions in the back round the reason they are so far back is because they are scared of the mans balloon
Anthony L. (WHRHS)
This photo is of Antarctic researchers testing the wind. This photo was taken during the winter, because the sun is visible.
Kevin Varela (Mrs. Tiptons Class)
i think they have are starting to run out of energy and they are testing what type of material can stand the cold and get them out. They are testing it so they can use it to get back home. It could just be them testing out to see if they can create a blimp to discover new areas of Antartica.
Ucol (in Mrs. Tipton's Class)
This picture takes place in some kind of arctic environment. There is a man holding up what I think is a large weather balloon, indicating that this man may be a scientist and is observing the weather patterns in the Antarctic. He may be observing climate change, as he conducts research through the balloon. This may be a good indication that many scientists worldwide are studying and discovering more about climate change and how it impacts Antarctic zones. This is also probably a lengthy procedure, as there is a shelter nearby and looks slightly rundown.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Ucol You are thinking about the possibility of scientific observation happening here and considering how far and wide the impact of climate change may be being studied worldwide. You have added the suggestion that this work takes time. What about the shelter in the picture looks rundown to you?
gabby (nrms)
There is a few scientists somewhere in Antarctica testing some sort of blimp to investigate the weather there. The man holding it down is the one who is going to let it go soon, but the people in the back are recording what might happen. I think they want to see how this new blimp will react in the weather.
Emily M. (WHRHS)
I believe that the man is trying to do some sort of scientific experiment with the balloon
Cali (WHRHS)
I think that this is a guy flying a kite in Antarctica. It is a special big kite for only perfetional kite flyers
sera (nrms)
I think that they are in Antarctica because of all the snow. I also think that they are researchers looking for some kind of alternative fuel. There is a small research lab looking thing in the background where they could be staying. I think it is Antarctica because the sun is still out and it is snowy and flat. They are looking for alternative fuel because the man is holding a hot air balloon/blimp, which need fuel to fly. I think that he is testing it out on the blimp and the guy in the back is recording the findings.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@sera You have introduced the idea that the people in the picture are coordinating their work, one making the observations and others recording the information. What do you see that makes you say that?
Keegan (NRMS)
In this picture you see an extremely cold climate and a few people around, all of which are wearing red (I don't think it's for a specific reason). There is a person in the front with a balloon and it looks as if he's raising it up into the sky, maybe to check the troposphere (the area in the atmosphere where weather is determined/happens) to test something. The area is obviously cold and covered in snow so if I were to take a guess as to wear this is it would likely be Antarctica, Greenland, or maybe even Alaska as this is what I think of when I think of cold weather.
Alex (WHRHS)
Google X is bringing wifi to all over the world with helium baloons with routers in them. This project will bring connection to those who would be otherwise inaccessible.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Alex Your comment is quite definite about this picture showing a project of Google X at work bringing wifi around the world, specifically to more remote places. What do you see in this photo that suggests it is part of that project?
Emily H (LCMS)
In this weeks picture, it looks like the setting is a research center somewhere cold. I know this because there are wires and poles coming out of the building along with fences and a snowmobile behind the people, who are all wearing a full jumpsuit with hats and gloves. This could possibly be Antarctica because there is nothing around them except for the research center and fences. The Balloon that they are releasing could possibly be a weather balloon. I know this because it is a bright color that can easily be spotted in the sky. It also has wires sticking out of it to create something that can be used to follow the path of winds. Overall, this is a group of people at a research center in Antarctica because they are releasing a weather balloon to follow the path of wind.
Lauren L. (Mrs. Tipton's Class)
This picture seems to be taken in a colder area, perhaps Antartica or in an area that isn't known to life because of the bitter cold climate. The man in the red is holding some sort of balloon by what appears to be strings. The ballon could be weather related. For example, the balloon could tell him the climate in another direction or the wind speeds, therefore I think the red balloon is a weather balloon. Another possibility is the man could have been digging through the blankets of snow and uncovered the red blimp or balloon. The sky is also a light shade of white which makes me believe that this picture was taken late day or early evening. Finally, I think this picture is featuring 2 scientists trying to figure out what gives this area its bitter cold climate.
Abel (Mrs. tipton)
it appears that the man in the front of the picture is launching a blimp into the sky
Hannah WHRHS (New Jersey)
A man is testing the atmospheric pressure in one the artic poles
Alyssa M (Texas)
I think that the three men that are in this image might have gotten stranded and are attempting to call for help. Another possibility would be that they are leaving the small island that they are on to possibly go fishing and are setting up a balloon that can help them find their way back. I believe they are stranded because there seem to be no boats or any sign of life nearby. The only thing that could be of any use to them would be snowmobile which supports my idea being that I think they might be going fishing in order to survive longer until they get help. The big balloon that the man is holding could also be a weather balloon being used to measure the winds and the air pressure. This could be because of a study on global warming.
Kelly (WHRHS)
It could be a scientist who is testing his experiment that looks to be a balloon out in antartica, possibly. Maybe, he’s testing the weather or air or the climate in a cold environment.
Bethany kovanda (tiptons class)
I think this is a picture of a few researchers studying the weather or climate in what may be Antarctica. They look to be in the middle of an experiment to help them gather data for further investigation.
Deonna flores (Mrs.Tiptons )
There is a red balloon in the air. Well the man is holding it. There are lots of snow where the men are at. As well as there is a building behind the man. Maybe they are working on an experiment out in the cold. The men seem to be at Antartica. The men may just be working on there own experiments for fun.
Vincent (WHRHS)
In this picture, there is a scientist in Antarctica using a balloon in order to figure out what the wind speed is. The balloon, clear skies, and scientist made me say that. I also see a base and light.
Rafael Alicea (Mrs.Tiptons class)
In this picture there is two men and a kid.This area is very isolated and snowy so it must be in a very low populated area.The man appears to be holding a ballon.There is also a building that appears to have scientific instruments at the top.I think this picture was taken in south Antarctica and a small group of scientist are following up on a project.
Mario (W H R H S)
In the photo it looks like there is a man in Antarctica using a weather balloon. There is snow all around and the man is in a jacket and hat. He may be a scientist.
Jesec Rios (Mrs.Tiptons Classroom )
My good man here is launching a German World War 1 blimp to attack the Americans. Or it could be a weather person using a blimp to record weather data.
Hunter (ms Tiptons class) (El Paso TX)
This appears to take place in Antarctica, possibly at a remote outpost since it does not appear to be big enough to be a base. There is also a means of transport that appears to fit all 3 people. The man appears to be deploying a red balloon, possible a weather balloon, or one for observation.
Nathan (WHRHS)
Maybe it's some sort of weather balloon that has to do with the winds in the environment.
Sarah Valdez (Tx)
I would assume that these are scientists in a specific location in Alaska, and they were sent there in order to record changes in climate or weather such as wind, which would explain why they are holding something similar to a hot air balloon, seemingly ready to let it drift off into the sky, and they may also be recording major environmental changes in the area, or studying the effect that global warming has in this specific area.
Nicholas (whrhs)
An antartican man is doing science. He is using a balloon sense the weather. He is likely alone.
Ramirez in Tiptons class (Texas)
There is a scientist holding a weather balloon in the North Pole to study the temperature up there.
Gabe (Tiptons class)
the red ballon is going to be flown to show a sign that they are ready to be picked up and when people see it they will fly n pick them up
Olivia (WHRHS)
I think this is a scientist testing out if weather affects air pressure in balloons.
Dan W (LCMS)
I believe the men in the picture are scientist doing research. I know this because they have many tools and even a hut. I also think that the scientist is testing the weather. I know this because he has the red balloon in the air. Finally I think they are in Antarctica. I know this because it is very cold there and it is snowing. Therefore, the picture shows scientists, in Antarctica, testing the weather.
Noelle Morales (Ms. Tiptons class)
This image seems to be of a man holding a hot air balloon. I seems cold due to the snow and his clothes. Maybe he is a scientist doing a project in Antartica and is maybe testing the wind pressure of the cold winds. He seems to be in front of a lab, maybe he has lived in this cold habitat for two years or so. He might be working for an organization of some sort to conduct research for global warming and how air pressure relates to it. New Captain- Scientist conducts research at a lab in Antartica to find a way to slow down global warming with the help of finding the air resistance/pressure.
Robert Diaz (Texas)
The picture seems to be taken in Antartica where they are preparing to launch some kind of miniature blimp into to the sky from a forward base of operations. The blimp itself might just to be used to locate where the base is for future reference.
Ethan (TX)
I believe this is an Arctic/Antarctic research center based on the snow everywhere and what appears to be a shack for shelter when they need sleep. The man seems to be holding a red balloon in the shape of a blimp. I think that just before this picture happened they received a package containing the balloon. Then, the man holding it opened it and put everything into place before finally inflating it. Then he grabbed it to make sure it didn't fly away.
Cesar (SMS)
In this image there appear to be 3 guys, 2 wearing red and one wearing gray/black coats. There seems to be some type of research center that is pretty small and on the right you can see a vehicle. One of the guys has something that appears to be holding a big red floating kite of some sort. I feel like maybe the people there ran out of resources like food or fuel and they're far away from any village or city and they are going to contact people through electronics so they can get rescued and they are using the red ballon as a pin point so that the people that are gonna save them know where they are located.
Matthew Marcinko (Palisade Glacier High School)
I think this is a small group of scientists (probably only the three seen in the image) gathering data on weather patterns, possibly in the Antarctic. I say this because most things seen in the image are red for easy visibility in snow. I also noticed upon closer inspection that the blimp seems to already be tied down to the ground where the two scientists in the background are standing. I think the man in the foreground is pulling the blimp down at the time this image was taken. I also think that they are staying out here for the moment because behind them looks like a shelter for the harsh weather that they can also use for research.
Christopher Rubio (Mrs. Tipton class room)
What I think is happening in this image is that some guy is checking to see is what seems to be a blimp work in some really cold area to see if that could be a way to send over a lot of thing needed for what they may be doing
Jason G (Warren, NJ)
A men from Alaska flying a big kite and trying to test how high it would go
Stevey H (WHRHS)
Someone flying a kite in Russia or landing down from a parachute
Alysabeth (WHRHS)
I think that the photo takes place in Antarctica in a scientific facility, where one scientist is using a red parachute thing to test the wind in order to figure out the wether change in that area of the world.
Alice (WHRHS)
This photo shows a scientific experiment. Maybe this photo was taken in a cold location like Antartica
Dayna (Watchung Hills)
A scientist is getting a blimp-like apparatus from Antarctica so that he may get readings on climate change from instruments on board the blimp. His clothing looks “official” and the weather looks like it is one of the poles.
Nate (PGHS)
There is red balloon floating in the air. The balloon is floating and a guy is holding it so that it doesn't float away. The location is in a cold place, maybe Antarctica. There is also some building behind the balloon showing that maybe it is a research center.
Phapperz (New York)
Whats going on in this picture is a guy holding up something but he really isn't holding it
Nick (@Ems)
a scientist is letting out a balloon
tina (cali)
i think a guy is testing some blimp thing in antartica
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@tina You see some kind of testing going on and you place this happening in Antartica. What do you see that makes you say there is a test going on here? What is the evidence you see that leads you to that point of view? And what more can you find?
Faith (PGHS)
I think that the man kneeling in the snow is a scientist using the red blimp to gather information about the climate
croland2121 (EMS)
A scientist is retrieving a red blimp-like apparatus from the frosty skies over Antarctica so that he may get readings on climate change from instruments on board the blimp. I say that because everything is covered in snow and ice, like Antarctica, and a few buildings have some kinds of instruments that I believe scientists might use to capture and evaluate weather data. I also see some kind of aircraft in the background, and other scientists dressed in red, working on experiments of their own. Perhaps the aircraft transported the scientists to the experiment site, and will soon take them back to warmer climes.
ronique (new york)
i see the guy in the back holding a air ballon whilw the guy in the front is pretending to hold it
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
Hi @ronique. You are the first to present the idea of the man in front just pretending to hold the air balloon while you see a man in the back actually holding it. What do you see that makes you say that?
alana r (Ems)
It looks like he has a big kite in his hands. Most likely he is doing a scientific test or something like that.
young.miyah (new york)
a guy holding a huge balloon you see a man in front of the balloon and it looks like hes holding but the man in back is really holding the balloon
Miss Chalmers, Zachary, & Meleke (Hudson, NY)
We think this man is holding a blimp that he's going to fly for help. We think this because the blimp is red and we don't see a lot of people around him. In addition, we think he's stuck in the Arctic and needs help.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Miss Chalmers, Zachary, & Meleke It sounds like you have discussed this together and have arrived at agreement about the situation. You think he is stuck there and needs help. What do you see that makes you say he needs help?
Luke W (EMS)
this looks like a weather balloon. maybe it is a weather balloon to learn about the weather in the Artic .
blah (mexico)
i see a blimp and a man pretending to hold it i also see the man pretend holding a blimp but it is really in the back of him and there is people in the back of him working on the blimp there also was a building and a bunch of snow. i thought this was not that important but i guess it was fun.

VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Munickat Your comment introduces a new idea of the retrieval of the apparatus that may be collecting data on changing weather conditions. What do you see that makes you say this could be a time of retrieval? And what do you see that makes you say there is some kind of aircraft in the back ground?
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
I am excited to join the discussion today on this rainy day in northern California. Thank you all for looking carefully, discussing with others, and sharing your observations with us. Remember to add your evidence so that we can include it in our viewing and finally, ask, "What more can I find?" I look forward to reading more comments.
Ts Block 1 (Texas, Arlington )
The men in the picture are located in Arctic and possibly checking weather patterns. Inside the balloon( blimp) there may be a camera to take photos of the weather..
Jamar M. (LCMS)
It appears in this picture, The setting is taken place in a cold area. I know this because there are blankets of snow throughout the picture,also a woman has a coat indicating it is cold. Next, I can see that someone within the picture leaves or enter the setting because there is a snow machine on the far right,showing someone uses it for transportation. Finally, I can see that the woman is on her knees holding some type of balloon thing. I know this because I can see her holding the string. In conclusion this photo is taken in a cold place and a woman is holding a balloon sort of thing for experiment.
Sarah M (LCMS)
In the picture, there is a scientist conducting research about the weather. I know this because he is holding a big weather balloon. Furthermore, the picture is taken in a cold location. I know this because there is snow covering the ground for as far as you can see. The men are freezing in the cold temperatures. I know this because they are wearing thick, red snow suits. Based on the evidence, there are scientists testing the weather in a cold location.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Sarah M Welcome to the discussion today. There have many voices, like yours, expressing the idea that we are looking at a big weather balloon. What do you see that makes you say this a weather balloon?
Joseph P (LCMS)
This picture takes place somewhere really cold, maybe places up north. I know this because I can see snow on the ground as well as the people wearing heavy jackes and pants. Something that can also be seen in the picture is the men doing some type of science experiment. I know this because the man in the front is holding a baloon maybe a weather balloon or a balloon checking wind speed and direction. In addition, the men in the backare setting up some sort of equipment. Furthermore, this picture takes place in a remote location. I know this because there are no homes or people around besides the three men.
Rebecca Y (LCMS)
In this picture, a man is trying to get more information about the earth’s atmosphere, or for an experiment he is conducting. I know this because he is releasing a parachute or balloon into the air, which could be used for him to find information about the weather or atmosphere. Additionally, this picture was taken in a cold climate zone. I know this because there is snow piled on the ground, and the the people are dressed in very warm clothes, such as heavy coats and hats. Furthermore, the people in the picture are staying together for the same reason. I know this because they are dressed alike, and there seems to be a little building in the picture that they could all be going to or be staying in. Based on the evidence, a group of scientific researchers are gathering information in a cold climate zone.
Matthew,R (LCMS)
This is a picture of a group of scientist. I know this because their is an instrument they are using and it is a group of them.This group of scientists are in a very cold desolate place. I know this because their is snow all around them and no sign of life around them. Finnaly the group of scientists are stationed there. I know this because they have a little hut in the background that is covered in snow showing that they have been there for awile and have a snowmobile for transportation. As the evidence shows this is a group of scientists that are in a desolate cold place that have been stationed there for scientific purposes.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Matthew,R Your observations and comments about the place and time pictured here give a sense of the duration of their stay. You mentioned that the hut is covered in snow and that indicates to you that they have been at this place for sometime. What do you see that makes you say they have been located here for a while?
Kaya (North Carolina )
It seems there is a guy is setting up a red blimp looking thing. The weather looks cold and snowy and the guy is wearing a suit that matches his outfit. Nearby there’s is a red building that I think the guy came from. There are other people around him too. I think there isn’t an experiment being carried out here.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Kaya Your comments suggest you have taken a good look at this picture and noticed a number of things like the people, their clothing, the weather, and the building. You also mention that in your view, there is not an experiment being carried out here. What do you see that makes you say that?
Eva R (LCMS)
In this picture it looks like the guy in red is holding the huge red blimp above him. I know this because the strings are in his hands, and he is holding them very securely making sure he does not let them go. Another thing I notice is that it looks like they are in a very cold part of the world/country they are in. I know this because there is snow on the ground, and both of the guys in the picture are wearing very heavy snow suits. A final thing I notice is it might be really early in the morning, or the day finally turning to night. I know this because there is barely any light in the sky in the background, and also there is one single light on in the background. In this picture it looks like a guy is trying to hold a huge red blimp from getting away, in a very cold environment either very early in the morning, or at dusk.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Eva R Thank you for adding your comments to the discussion today. You bring our attention to the time of day this is taking place and have noticed both the light of the sky and a single light in the background. You are considering if it is early in the morning or day turning into night.
Olivia L (LCMS)
In this picture, the men are experimenting or testing something in an arctic area. I know this because there is a man holding a big red balloon and there are men in the back doing other activities. The setting is cold. I know this because there is snow on the ground and by the way they are dressed. These men are living there for a little. I know this because there is a building in the back that could be used as a house. These men are doing science related research in a cold climate.
Emily H (LCMS)
In this picture, they are in a very cold climate. I know this because there is snow everywhere and they have a snowmobile. Secondly, the man front and center in the picture may be testing wind speed/force. I know this because he has a hollow balloon type structure in his hand which could help measure how strong the wind is by pulling the balloon. Lastly, they may live there while testing. I know this because there is a small building next to them that looks like it could fit the three people in the picture. In conclusion, there are people living in a very cold climate, testing wind speed/force.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Emily H You have noted that the man in front and center is holding a balloon like structure in his hand and that this may be a method of measuring the speed or force of the wind in this area. You also noted that the building looks like it could accommodate the people in the picture suggesting that they are living there while doing their work. What more can you find as you continue to look?
Erin S (LCMS)
This picture was taken in the winter. I know this because there is snow covering the ground and the man in the photo is wearing winter clothes. Additionally, the man seems to be sending something off into the air. I know this because he is holding something that is very lightweight and looks like it can float. Finally, the men in the photo do not live in this place. I know this because there are jet skis in the background, which means they have traveled to this place. Based on the evidence there are men in this photo who have traveled to this place on a cold winter day, to send something up into the air.
Allyson B (LCMS)
In this picture, it looks as if someone is flying a huge kite of some sort. I know this because there is a man holding strings which are attached to something that is flying in the sky. Another thing that I notice is that the season must be winter. I can tell this because there is snow on the ground, and the man that is front and center in the image is all bundled up in winter snow gear. Lastly, I notice that the two men in red may be on some sort of winter sport team. I know this because they are wearing the same outfit, which could be team jackets. Based on this evidence, there are two men on a winter sport team out in the snow flying a large kite.
Madhav (New Jersey)
There is red balloon floating in the air. The balloon is floating and a guy is holding it so that it doesn't float away. The location is in a cold place, maybe Antarctica. There is also some building behind the balloon showing that maybe it is a research center.
Skylar C. (LCMS)
The men are scientists. I know this because they are wearing coats and pants that are uniform. Additionally, the men work at a remote testing facility. I know this because there are two small buildings and there are no other buildings to be seen. The men are running an experiment as well. I know this because the one man is holding a big, red balloon that he is looking at. Based on the evidence, the scientists are at a remote testing facility where they are running an experiment.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Skylar C. What do you see that makes you say the clothing they are wearing are uniform? We appreciate reading about all the details seen as well as the the overall view.

This picture was taken somewhere cold. I know this because you can see snow blanketing the ground the people in the picture are bundled up against the cold. Furthermore, they appear to be testing the greenhouse gases in this place. I know this because the man in red is holding a red balloon which is used to measure the air and weather up in the sky. Lastly, these people must be doing this experiment in a designated area. I know this because there are ropes that are blocking off the section in which the people are working so they don’t get interrupted by an animal or something along those lines. In conclusion, this picture was taken somewhere cold where a group of people are measuring the weather in a closed off area.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Erica S Sounds like you have taken the time to notice many different things in this picture like the snow blanketing the ground, the people and their actions, as well as what they are working with, and you also noted the ropes which seem to define the area. Thank you for bringing our attention to this detail. What more can you find?
Zachery. D (LCMS)
I believe the men in the picture are scientist doing research. I know this because they have many tools and even a hut. I also believe that it is some sort of festival or holiday native to the place they are in. I know this because he is sending off a lantern and looks joyful and curious while doing it. Finally I think they are in Antarctica. I know this because it is very cold there and it is snowing. Therefore, the picture shows scientists, in Antarctica, lighting and sending off a lantern for a festival or holiday.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Zachery. D You are in agreement with the general ideas expressed today that the people in this picture seem to be doing research of some sort and perhaps it is related to gathering weather information, and you added your belief that this could also be a celebration of some kind. What do you see that makes you say a holiday and one that might be native to this location?
Joseph Rodriguez (ems)
The man is sending a weather balloon to monitor weather were they are.
joseph (ems)
there releasing a balloon into the atmosphere that measures levels of green house gasses like carbon dioxide
Trent L. (@EMS)
There is a man in red, a balloon that is red, and a red-ish building. He might be testing wind speed or doing some kind of experiment.
alli,s (@ems)
I agree with hunter but it could be chines traditions well
Sanchez Homeroom 53 (Texas)
The man is trying to find the direction of the wind using a balloon device. This could possibly be a science experiment in Antarctica/Arctic. The men have some hard work and are trying to get the balloon to fly. This could be a experiment for possible energy source discovery.
megan s (ems)
In this picture, it looks like a man is flying a kite or balloon, possibly to conduct an experiment
Hunter (Ems)
There is a person kneeling down and is about to release a small red blimp. It could be a tradition or maybe it means something if this person is a researcher and something went wrong.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Hunter You are suggesting a new idea in this discussion, that this event could be a tradition. What do you see that makes say that?
Hunter (Ems)
@VTS Moderator It seems like he is about to release the small red blimp and I thought of the Chinese tradition of releasing a small balloon thing into the air so it reminded me of that.
Hunter (Ems)
@VTS Moderator It seems like he is about to release the small red blimp and I thought of the Chinese tradition of releasing a small balloon thing into the air with the fire moving it up. Also, because of the cold harsh weather he maybe could not of lit the fire to release the balloon so instead used a small blimp. I think it makes sense.
Marissa B (Ems)
It looks like there is a man setting up a weather balloon in an antarctic base. The guy in front is just resting on the ground for a minute.
Emma (Evans)
It's snowy and there is a red blimp.They probably need supplies.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Emma What do you see that makes you say they may be needing supplies?
ashlee (EMS)
They are trying to entertain their selves.
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@ashlee Thank you for joining the discussion today. Your comment is about the action you observed. What do you see that makes you say they are trying to entertain themselves as opposed to the prevailing view stating it looks like scientific research?
Aidan (Georgia)
I think he is either playing with that blip or he is a meteorologist
Paisley, S (@EMS)
I see people in Antarctica using what looks like a weather balloon that is about to be let go and fly in the air.
Jaiden Santos (SKHS, Washington)
There is a red blimp type of balloon and a man in a red jumpsuit. I also, see teo base like building in the background, two other people in the back and a snowmobile. It seems they are in antarctica because there is a long streak of snow and the amount of snow. It seems they are also sending a message for supplies.
jadyn (south kitsap high school )
In this photo there is a guy in red snow pants and a red snow coat in the snow trying to fly what looks like a kite . in the background you can also see a couple of people so maybe they are doing research because there is also a snowmobile on the side and a building near by .
Z.R (poughkeepsie )
I believe in this picture, scientists are trying to determine what is going on with the weather. It also looks as if they might be in Antartica because of the snowy features. They might be doing a scientific research on the weather.
Kareema Griffin (poughkeepsie)
I see a guy trying to set up a kite or balloon in the snow . I also see him kneeling in the snow. I say that because he is on the floor with a kite and snow gear. I also see he has a little boat house in the background.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
Good morning @Kareema Griffin! You're thinking about the central figure who looks like he might be setting something up in the snow near his lodging. What did you see that made you say it could be a kite or a balloon? That the structure in the background is a boathouse? Root your evidence in the image and remember to provide us with these details!
taviasha atkins (poughkeepise )
i see a guy in the snow , in the middle of nowhere trying to set up a kite or a balloon im not sure what it is maybe he wants to fly im not sure. i say that because he is in a red snowgear and it looks like he wants to fly the kite &get to his destination im not sure .i also see he has a shed or a house in the back ,maybe he is trying to get some food im not sure all i see is he is in the middle of nowhere
Arca (New Jersey)
In this picture, I see a man in some sort of Arctic/Antarctic area, sending some sort of balloon into the air as a part of an experiment or routine check. I know this is in the Arctic or Antarctic because there is snow everywhere, and there is some sort of science lab or base next to it. It must be a base since there are antennas and such coming out of it. The man, a scientist, is sending out this balloon, which could be a weather balloon, to monitor the area. While there is nothing in the picture to support my hypothesis, my idea is as follows. The balloon is to monitor melting polar ice caps, and has to do with global warming. It is probably in the Arctic, since that is the place most affected by global warming, and also the sky is unusually sunny for the coldest place on Earth. In the background, I see a snowmobile, that they must use to quickly travel from place to place (and dodge angry polar bears).
anushka (mmms)
This picture was taken in a very cold place, but it cannot be dry, as there is snow. The man is testing a blimp-shaped object to see if it can still float, as you need hot air to make blimps and hot air balloons fly. The person may be testing a small balloon to see if hot air can make such a device float in the cold temperatures, possibly so that he can go out in a larger hot air balloon. The person may also be trying to send a message to other people, as there is only a small building in the background which probably only has space for a few people to work. There are also two other people in the background, and there may have been someone behind the camera as well.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
Hello @anushka! Great examples of evidentiary based reasoning and using conditional language to support multiple possibilities. You're considering if this balloon is a prototype for a larger transportation device, or if perhaps it is a tool for communication. What did you see that made you say that? You're also considering that there might be an additional figure that is not pictured, who might be behind the camera. Keep up the good work! What more can we find?
Victoria (New Jersey)
In this image, scientists are studying the wind speed of a cold area, such as Antarctica, which can be determined based on the fact that there is a lot of snow in the image and the people are wearing very warm clothing. Furthermore, there are only a few people, and it is logical that only a few people would be sent to study air in such a cold environment. Additionally, these people are measuring wind speed because they are using a large, tethered, red balloon, much like those used to observe properties of air. They are likely measuring specifically wind speed as there is an opening for the air to enter into and this may become the data used to determine the air speed.

TR (skhs)
It’s a picture of a guy on the ground of the snow possibly in the arctic and a balloon in the frame that looks like the guy is holding it but really i think it's framing because of the way he is and how in the background there's a guy working on something and i think it’s the balloon so the guy in the front is posing and pretending to hold it
Hunter (Ottawa, ON)
This photo is in the Antarctic and they are using a weather balloon to test the weather. I say this because I don’t see any hills or mountains in the distance. It’s a weather balloon because the balloon has an instalment at the bottom of the balloon, and weather balloons also have strings connecting to something. They are far away from at least civilization because they have to drive a snowmobile to get somewhere. In conclusion I believe that they are testing the weather in Antarctica.
Mackaidan (Newport)
he is flying a kite
Dakota E (Newport)
i see a house i see 3 people 2 are in red suits and 1 is in a black suit i see a medium size flote also a snowmoble
Matthew (El paso Tx)
I believe that this picture takes place in Antarctica. I think this because of how snowy it is and because of the barren land scape. The figures in the photo are scientists measuring wind direction. Maybe they are studying climate as well considering recent problems with icecaps and climate change. If I had to title it i would title it 'Scientists tackle problems regarding recent changes in climate'
Fakih (El Paso)
In this photo I think these are scientists in one of the poles, North or South and they are using some sort of weather balloon. In the background you can see what is probably a base of some sort, for research and communication. I going to assume this is some sort of testing to find out more about their location. There are also some men in the back one with a similar outfit to the one with the balloon while the other has a different attire. I can't tell what they are doing, but I think they do different things for this research team.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
Welcome and thank you for your contribution to the image discussion @Fakih! It sounds like you are considering many possibilities when it comes to this scene -- where they are, what they are doing, and what their roles are. What did you see that made you say the building might be a research and communication base? What did you see that made you say the figures are part of a team but might have separate roles? Tell us more and remember to back up your claims with evidence!
Angie Moncayo (Texas)
In this image the location is covered in snow. Perhaps it would be the Arctic. There are three people present in the image. Two who are wearing red suits. One wearing causal winter clothing. There is a building that has snow up to the half of it and snow on the roof. On the roof of the building there are rods and mechanical boxes. There is what seems to appear as a fence made my wire along a distance of the snow covered area. I believe that in this image the men are conducting an experiment. This is because one of the men is holding what seems to be a blimp and the two other people in the back are working on something. Perhaps their experiment has to do with the location and the snow.
Ruth (Texas)
It looks to be in some place snowy and cold like Antartica. There is a man in a red suit holding some type of inflatable red ballon. I think that they are doing a type of experiment that has to do with weather like seeing in which direction the wind is coming from. It is either that or they are testing the inflatable ballon its self maybe to see if it will fly and inflate in the cold weather and to see how stable it is in that type of weather. In the back you can see two people one looks like a man and the other looks like a child , so maybe they are writing down the results that they get from the ballon and the man is showing the boy how to write down the results that they get.
Briana (TX)
In this photo takes place in a cold frozen area where two, what seem to be scientists based on what they are doing. They are both dressed in red uniformed coats for the winter, one scientists is in the background maybe working on the wires of a device. The other is holding a big red balloon. There is another man wearing a darker coat that is even farther away from the others, he's just standing there but her could be working on that pole that is next to him. That pole has a box under it that he could be working with. Behind the man hold a balloon there is a house/shelter that could be where they do their research. The main focus of the photo is the big red ballon that could be used in on of their science experiments.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
Hello @Briana! You commented in great detail on the figures in this image and what they might be doing, but then mentioned that the focal point of the image is the large red balloon. What did you see that made you say this is the main focus of the photo?
Neriah (Texas )
In this picture I see a man holding something that appears to be like a balloon . Since it is a balloon it will go where the wind takes it and maybe they are testing the direction of the wind. The guy holding the balloon can possibly be a scientist. It looks like their location can be in the arctic.
ree (el paso)
I thank this is an outpost in Antartica, where they send wether balons into the sky to get deata. I bolveve that this wether balon is what will get a lot of imfermashin for news sorses arond the world.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
Hi @ree! Let's hear more from you. What more can you find? What visual evidence can you provide for your ideas? What did you see that made you say potential information collected from the weather balloon will be sent to global news sources?
Paulina (Texas)
It is very snowy in the place this picture was taken in. In the back right of the image you see a small cylinder shaped structure. In the center of the image a man is seen kneeling down while holding something that resembles a blimp, but it is a lot smaller and looks like its made out of something like plastic or similar to plastic, because you can see through it. Mainly based on background knowledge, I'm going to say that this is an image of a research center, and the red thing the man is holding is something they do regularly that helps them with their research.
Jordan (TX)
what I see in this picture is what appears to be three men, one of them is holding what looks like a blimp. Two of the men are wearing red and the other is wearing black. they are all near a big red structure and it is snowing. In this picture I think they might be doing something to test wind direction or the weather of the place they are in. I think that they are maybe in Antarctica, and this could also mean that they are looking or testing global warming in the area and how it has affected the wildlife there. I believe this because of the snow and the fact that you cannot see any mountains.
CAIDENCE (TEXAS)
I think that this man is a scientist. Im guessing he is in that field from previous knowledge like movies. He could be investigating something with the balloon he has. Their location gives me a hint too. Somewhere cold, probably extremely cold. Based on what our world is approaching, it could have something to do with global warming. Or I'm completely wrong. It seems as they were very prepared for this experiment. I can figure this out by noticing the base/camp they have set out. I see like 4 scientists total. They could've all been in the location for a while. The base looks very organization telling from the outside like it was planned well ahead. Maybe they will be testing numerous balloons, extending their stay. The balloon could be an object they use for research. The material of the balloon even says something. Most balloons are latex while this balloon seems as it has the texture of linen. I could be wrong. I do agree with some comments saying it Is a government funded project. I like my idea the best with going with global warming. Thats a government funded project.
Maiaa (Ontario)
I believe that in this picture the people that do this job are observing climate control . This red balloon thing in the picture is a weather balloon . it detects weather like if the snow is gonna melt and it also goes along with climate change. It's also up in the north where climate change is a big problem .
ilyanna (El Paso, Tx )
From my background knowledge the blimp, the red thing in the sky, it collects data for the researchers on the ground who cant get that information from where they are at. I have said they are researchers because they are in the middle of nowhere and just a small building. Maybe on a expedition where they need to collect something for scientist or for a project. I also thought that they might be studying wind patterns in the sky.
Bryce D. (Ottawa)
In this picture looks to be in the Arctic because of land being covered in snow. I think there is a weather station in the background because their trying to detect climate change. The big red balloon is actually a weather balloon shaped like a blimp due to research. The person in the foreground is anchoring the weather balloon down.
Uziel C. (El Paso,TX)
I believe that in this picture I see what appears to be a mini-blimp being held by a scientist. The picture looks like to be taken in the North or South Pole. the area has an outpost, maybe a lab of some sort. In the far right, I see that they have a snowmobile which means that they could have been there for days. The blimp may be a weather balloon but does not have gadgets on it.
cheyenne (Newport)
hes flying a kite
Jackie Mendoza (Texas )
In this picture there seams to be two scientist working somewhere in Antarctica. We can clearly see that one scientist is using a blimp looking tool of some sort to test something. I think that the scientist is testing something with the wind. The tool could also be something to help them get some power, Because there is a little house.
Jonathan (NRMS)
I think this is a science experiment that has to with weather. Scientist release weather balloons into the atmosphere and when they come back down it tells them whats going on up there so they can predict what is going to happen for the next couple of days. I believe this is somewhere in Antartica based on all the snow and how they have to use a antenna to get signal and report back to the headquarters. If I had to put a title on this it would be "Scientists Release Weather Balloon into Atmosphere to Predict What is Going to Happen".
bernard (mrs. tiptons class)
There are 3 men, 1 is getting the balloon ready, the other 2 are checking equipment. There is a base in the back, there is also a fence around them. There are somewhere cold maybe the north or south pole. There is another building in the back. There is no wildlife in the background. It looks to be early in the morning.
Patricio (Mrs. Tipton's class)
I think that the person is holding a weather balloon. I think that this is how they get their weather in cold places, this can be a weather center. The picture is taken so the people can see how they get the weather and how they send the weather balloons up.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
@Patricio welcome to the image discussion! It sounds like you're considering the purpose of this image and what it can teach people about how weather data is collected. What did you see that made you say that? Keep up the hard work of looking closely and generating inferences! Remember to provide evidence for your inferences and consider ideas posted by others! You can even reply directly to comments to continue the conversation or ask questions.
Mariah (NRMS)
It looks like its somewhere in Antartica because of all the snow thats there. In the foreground there is a man holding some sort of blimp. This could be some sort of experiment that they are doing, there is a fence being built around the premises probably so that nothing can interfere with their research and in the back there seems to be a work station where they could be holding some records or information of what they are experimenting on and could also be used as a camp.
Brianna Leyva (el paso )
It looks like this could have taken place in Alaska or Antartica because it is very snowy everywhere and there doesn't seem to be a lot of dry areas for miles maybe. I think this man could be planning on how to make one of those huge blimps that people can be in because it seems like he built one of of material but is much smaller than a real one would be. There are two men wearing the same thing clothing so maybe there are partners doing research on blimps and how they work perhaps.
neda (el paso !)
In this photo a man is holding something big and red. He is most defiantly somewhere very cold and deserted due to the fact that he is wearing a big jacket and there doesn't seem to be anything in the distance.I think that a man is trying to test an invention he made, maybe something involving temperature or maybe he's just trying to have fun with a big red kite of some sort.It would make sense because he seems to be lone so he needs something to keep him busy.
Patrick (Mrs. Tiptons class)
Im going to infer that the man who is holding the blimp like balloon is a scientist and the balloon is for finding out weather patterns.
Fer (ASFG)
I think what is going on in this picture is that there’s research being done in a place that looks like Antarctica. I think this because there seem to be research stations in the picture’s background, there is a man with some equipment in the back, and the man in the front is holding a zeppelin, or a blimp, which could be used to measure the wind’s speed or direction. I think this is Antarctica because it seems completely desolate, and I also know that the only people allowed there are scientists.
luna (ontario)
What I see is a man holding a weather balloon in the middle of nowhere.It's obviously winter because it looks pretty cold and there is lots of snow all around,it also looks like either is in the evening or early morning because take a look at the clouds. And I also see 3 human beings, 2 of them are wearing red top to bottom and the one in the corner is wearing black.it may be in Antarctica or south of Argentina looks really similar,people probably put this picture up because maybe it has to relate to climate change and how down south there are rising oceans and melting snow the picture probably has to refer to climate change.
Juan Pablo (Guadalajara, Mexico)
The picture that is being shown illustrates a man in a red suit holding a big aerostatic globe. I think this goes back to another picture that was uploaded before, where there was a red cross in Antarctica. I think this picture is directly linked with the other one as it could be the same organization. I think that the Red Cross is working over there or probably they are scientists conducted experiments in Antarctica. Other than that I can not see what else ut could be.
Zariyanna (TX)
In this picture I see a man with a big floating red figure. It seems to be snowing so I think he is doing an experiment of some sort. This experiment probably has something to do with the wind so, maybe he is a scientist that is testing wind direction.
Bryan (El Paso TX)
This seems to be in Antarctica or the North Pole because of all the snow. There are what seems to be 2 or 3 people and one of them is flying some sort of kite that could be an instrument for what ever these scientists need. There is a station in the back, so that's more than likely their research lab, and the kite can maybe be gathering an air substance and will be Brough back for experimenting. Headline would be "Scientists getting air samples".
Ana (Mexico)
In this picture, I think that scientists constructed a zeppelin to test something in the air such as the temperature or the speed of the wind. I say this because the setting is in the middle of an icy place such as antarctica and there is where many scientists make research about a certain thing. Also, in the back there is a research facility that makes me support my claim even more.
Hunter Gates (Guadalajara)
I think what is going on in this picture is that scientists are researching wind patterns in the Arctic. I think this is what’s going on because a man is holding a zeppelin above him as it seems to float in the wind. Behind the man, there is another person in the background with equipment setting something up as well. They may also be putting these zeppelins up in order to be able to see the location of the camp from far away. This would help when they go on journeys to explore the surrounding area of the camp in order for them to find their way back. If this place is Antarctica, it can be certain that the people there are scientists because they are the only people allowed on the land. It is for this reason that they may be researching events in this area.
Inigo De Obeso (Mexico)
In the photo a scientist group is studying the atmosphere in Antarctica. First, they are launching a zeppelin type of invention to the sky. Second, it seems like they are professional and have a lab and special vehicles. Third, it is in a snow region and they have special gear for the cold that you would use in extreme temperatures. In addition, the color of the uniform, vehicle, lab and zeppelin are all the same suggesting that the group or organization is recognized by the color.
Justus Lopez (El Paso, TX)
In the picture, there are scientist in the Arctic or Antarctic, or somewhere around there. The balloon-like object looks like it is testing wind or temperature levels.
Carson Adams (Mrs. Tiptons class)
This appears to be a research station at either the North or South Pole. The guy in the picture seems to be launching a weather balloon into the atmosphere. The balloon appears to still be attached to the ground even though it is floating
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
There have been so many great ideas this morning! Many of you agree that the figures in this image are scientists. @Kirsten thinks they are testing wind direction. @Emily also thinks this work involves the wind, but specifically to determine wind patterns. @Ariadna wonders if they are looking at weather patterns or some other kind of environmental research, like the melting of the ice caps. @McKinnley suggested that they might be determining exact temperature or predicting upcoming weather. Some of you, like @Zoe, think that this scene is not centered around their work but instead could be a call for help, as they might be in need of supplies. Keep it up! Keep looking, thinking, and discovering. What do you see that makes you say they are scientists? What other ideas do you have about what's going on in this picture? Provide evidence for your ideas! What more can we find?
Mrs. Reibel's Class (Hoffman Estates, IL)
Our third grade class thinks that this is in the Arctic or Antarctica because of all the snow and it looks very cold and empty. The people are using a balloon for some kind of research. We think this might be by a frozen body of water.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
Good morning @Mrs. Reibel's Class! It's wonderful to hear from your third graders. Sounds like you all discussed the setting of this image, perhaps one of the poles, as you all noticed the snow and the barren landscape. What did your class see that made you say this could be set near a frozen body of water?
Kayden (New York)
I see something that that looks like a blimp and a scientists holding it and I say that because I can see it in the picture and in the background is a station a two other people,also a fence that's going all around the site.
Jack V (WHRHS)
This looks like this was taken in the north pole. It is either hikers or scientists. This looks like a ballon or biohazard chemical that is trapped in the air.
Annie (WHRHS)
In this picture, there is a lot of snow with a man testing the wind with a big kite type air thing. I think he is an explorer in Antartica.
Nathalia (WHRHS)
A red air balloon that is connected to probably a note or something that’s giving to the person in the red coat kneeling down. They’re in a cold place with barely any technology so I’m guessing they’re by the mountains. Or Antartica. It’s plain snow but there is also a building there that looks like it belongs to some type of factory
VTS Moderator (Sonoma, CA)
@Nathalia, thank you for your comments. You mention the building and suggest it belongs to some type of factory. I am wondering what do you see that makes you say that?
cayden (Newport)
I think that scientists are sending up a weather balloon in Antarctica.
Sherome (Poughkeepsie)
This seems like Scientist in the middle of no where holding a blimp but if you really look closely you can see that the man in the back is trying to fix the strings but the man in the front looks like he is holding it but he really isn't
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
Hi @Sherome! Seems like you're pointing out what looks like an illusion created from the depth of field in the photograph. Keep it up! What more can you find?
Jazmyn (Newport)
I think that they are in Canada or somewhere up north and I see a man getting something that look like a hot-air balloon and I see two more men in the backround
cheyenne (Newport)
i see people in antartica at a science discovery site of some sort and there doing an experiment with maybe air or wind speed they are using a weather balloon for the experiment and they have small but maybe warm buildings
ethan (WHRHS)
The guy is setting up this thing. Looks like it’s maybe for the wind! It looks kinda like a mini blimp.
Kirsten (Newport)
I see people in a cold place.There is a lot of snow,The guy looks like he is testing the wind to see what way the wind is going.It looks like a big kite thing.The guy looks like a scientist.There are shacks they looks like the people are living in or staying in.There is a snowmobile.
bella (Newport)
it looks like a expoler that is in antarcta i see a boat two pepol in the back ground a person holding a kite i see a litte square house a snowmabille and a circle made out of snow. it looks like they are trying to live there
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
Thanks for contributing your ideas @bellla! Remember to back your claims up with evidence from the image. What do you see that makes you say this person is an explorer? That this is a place they are trying to make home?
Sherome (Poughkeepsie)
There are scientist in the middle of no where making a project with a blimp and the first guy looks like he is holding the strings of the blimp but if you look closely you can see that the guy in the back is fixing the strings and getting ready to let it go.
McKenna (Omaha)
It's either a weather balloon or an SOS in the artic, possibly government funded
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
Hi @McKenna, thanks for your comment. Let's hear more from you. What do you see that makes you say this situation could be funded by the government? That someone might be in need of help? Remember to provide evidence rooted in the image to support your claims!
Wm. (Plattsmouth)
I think they are at some research center in the Tundra because of all the snow and the man up front is testing the wind with what looks like some kind of kite.
Ariadna (WHRHS)
I believe that this is a scientist conducting a research experiment. It most likely has to do with weather patterns or some other form of environmental research. They seem to be at one of the poles so it could be about the melting of the ice caps.
Raven (Omaha)
they are using a weather baloon
Jackson B. (LCMS)
The setting of this photo seems to be in Antartica. I know this because, the person in the picture is wearing a large coat and there is snow and ice all around. Also, there is a jet ski which might be used to go looking for something in the Southern Ocean. In addition, there is a guy creating somesort of aircraft that might be used as a beacon of somesort. I know this because, the man is creating a blimp, and the blimp is bright red; which suggests taht it might be used by someone to find them. Moreover, the people in the picture might be working for a scientific purpose. I know this because all the people in the picture are matching, and there is a building with rope around it. In conclusion, there is a group of scientific workers, working in Antartica, that are creating somesort of aircraft.

Welcome to the image discussion @Jackson B.! Sounds like you're really thinking about the type of work or research that might be happening in this picture. What did you see that made you say that the central figure made this blimp or aircraft?
Emily (Plattsmouth)
It looks like there is a guy flying a kite. He is dressed warmly and there is snow everywhere. I’m assuming that he is stationed in the Arctic or Antarctica. Going back to the kite, I think it is being used for something to determine wind patterns.
marinda (plattsmouth)
I can tell this guy in the picture is doing some kind of project probably for work. I can predict this because behind him is some type of building and 2 guys behind him. I can see that it is really cold out because there is snow on the ground and the amount of snow gear he is wearing.
McKinnley (PHS)
It looks to be a scientist somewhere in the arctic using a weather balloon of some sort, perhaps they're using the balloon to determine the exact temperature or perhaps any upcoming weather and how it regulates in the cold.
Evan (PHS)
It appears that in this picture scientists are stationed somewhere in the arctic (due to the abundance of snow on the ground) and setting up a weather balloon in the atmosphere.
Tiffany (omaha)
It looks as if they are trying to get people to see him and get help.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
Hi @Tiffany! Remember to provide evidence for your ideas. What do you see that makes you say they are in need of help? That they want increased visibility?
Levi (Plattsmouth)
This photo is of a researcher in an arctic tundra researching wind patterns or maybe its even some kind of weather balloon. Actually, I googled it and it's a research ship. I was googling pictures of weather balloons to see if there are any others that look like this and there are, it's an arctic weather balloon/research ship. That looks like a research facility in the background as well as a snowmobile and fences. Maybe this is a government funded research project.
Jenna (Nebraska)
This is taking place in a very cold area, possibly Antarctica. They are doing some sort of scientific experiment, possibly releasing some sort of weather balloon.
Zoe (plattsmouth)
I think that they are sending an sos, maybe because they are in need of supplies
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
Good morning everyone! It's great to see all of the comments that have come in already. There are many possibilities so let's keep looking, thinking, writing, and remembering to provide evidence for your ideas. What's going on in this picture?
Isabella M. (LCMS)
Based on this picture I can tell that it is very cold in this picture, I know this because there is snow covering the ground and the guy is dressed very heavily in snow clothes. I can also tell that he is working on some kind of project. I know this because he is holding a big red object that is flying and there are two guys behind him and some technology around him. Another thing I notice is the guy is holding a smaller version if a blimp. I know this because it is shaped like a blimp and flying. Overall, I can tell that this guy is doing a project that invloves a blimp in extremely cold weather.
Brynne M (LCMS)
In this photo the man is doing some sort of scientific experiment that could have to do with weather. I can tell that there was a scientific experiment because there was technology that would be used in one. I know that the experiment might be involved with wind and that a balloon is involved. I know this because I can see something similar to a red balloon or kite. I can infer that this weather experiment would have to be somewhere cold and is being done in cold weather. I know this because I can see snow on the ground and the man is wearing a coat. I know that there is some type of experiment being done with a type of red balloon in cold weather.
Anden B. (LCMS)
My first claim about this picture is that this is in a secluded place, possibly Antarctica. I can conclude this because the people are dressed warmly, there are heaps of snow all over the ground, and there is no real evidence of civilization/other people on the outskirts of the photo. The people here are scientists working to test something. I know this because the person in the middle of the photo appears to test a weather balloon of sorts and the people in the back appear like they are collectings samples from the snow. Lastly, I know the people have been here a long time. I can infer this because house is covered in snow and appears to have withstood the elements for a while, and there are many trails around the house in different directions. Furthermore, I can conclude that these scientists from Antarctica are testing a weather balloon after staying there for quite some time.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
Great examples of evidentiary based reasoning @Anden B.! You're considering the climate, location, population, and length of stay of those in the image. What did you see that made you say this might possibly be set in Antarctica specifically?
Taylor J (LCMS)
I think that this picture was taken in Antarctic or somewhere near the poles. I know this because there are piles of snow covering the entire landscape. I think this place has a very little population. I know this because there are few people and there are no homes or buildings. More so, the weather conditions are not the best for humans. This is due to the low, cold climate that’s shown by the attire worn by the people. I think that these people are scientists. I know this because they are testing a weather balloon or blimp in the sky. This could be a test to see if the weather can permit flight. Based on the evidence, this picture was taken in one of the poles or Antarctica that has little population, where scientists are testing if flight is permitted by the weather conditions.
ShafeenLCMS (LCMS)
Shafeen Ahmad Mrs. Mielziner Period 1 and 2 10 December 2018 In the picture, you can see that there is someone in the middle of an area that is very cold. I know this because he is wearing clothing that helps to maintain his homeostasis, or in other words, he’s wearing clothes that help him stay warm. In addition, the setting in the picture has a lot of snow. Also, there is someone in the middle of the picture, he must be some sort of scientist or observationalist. I know this because of what looks to be an experiment is being made by him. Furthermore, the guy must be doing an experiment based on winds in colder areas. I know this because he is using this aerodynamic machine that is being pulled up by winds, and he is in a cold area. Conclusion: There is a scientist doing an experiment about the forces of air in a cold area.
Nicholas B. (LCMS)
In the picture there is a scientist testing something. I know this because of what he is holding in the air and his equipment behind him. The picture is in a cold place. I know this because of the clothes the people are wearing and there is snow on the ground. The people are far from civilization. I know this because there are no houses in the background other than what they are working in and there is a snowmobile to get them to where they came from fast. Based on this evidence, I know that there are scientists testing something in a cold environment.
Sean K (LCMS)
This picture was taken in a very cold deserted area. I know this because there are no attempts to settle nearby and there is lots of snow. The thing that the man in the picture is holding looks like it could be a weather balloon as it looks inflated with air and is being held down by strings which the man is holding. These men are scientists. I know this because no one wants to “for fun” go to a very cold and snowy place to fly a thing that looks like a weather balloon that looks like a blimp. All in all, These are scientists data marking the climate of this very cold and snowy place.
Luke P (LCMS)
The photo depicts scientists working in an arctic environment. I can infer this as a result of the vast expanse of snow and ice for miles. Additionally, one of the scientists is in the process of testing weather patterns. I can infer this as he is holding a red balloon which, when released, would be easy to see against the snowy ground. Moreover, the scientists have been or are to be stationed here for an extended period of time. I can infer this from the building in the background of the picture. Based on the evidence, I can conclude that the picture depicts scientists stationed in an arctic environment to study weather patterns.
Mark D. (LCMS)
This picture takes place in antarctica. I know this because there is snow everywhere and there are no houses anywhere. In addition, the person is doing an experiment. I know this because he is flying a weather balloon to study weather in antarctica. Additionally, the people there are scientists. I know this because there is a station in the background and other people possibly doing other experiments. Based on the evidence, scientists in antarctica are doing and experiment.
Casey J (LCMS )
his picture was taken somewhere cold, maybe Antarctica. I know this because there is only snow that could stretch on farther than we can see. Also in the picture, the people in the red suits could be conducting experiments for science. I know this because they are somewhere cold and a lot of scientific research is conducted in cold weather. Finally, in this picture the people look like they are going to be staying there for a while or at least a few days. I know this because they had to have gotten to the area somehow. There is no helicopter or another vehicle with them that could transport them and all of there equipment. Based on the evidence, I can conclude that the people in red are scientists doing research in a cold area.
Kelly R (LCMS)
I can see that this picture might be taken in Antarctica. I know this because the area is mostly empty and it’s covered in snow. I also see that they are scientists, trying to observe. I know this because they are prepared with their equipment and they seem to be at a station. I can also see that the people in the picture might be testing what would happen to balloon in cold weather. I know this because the man is bent down on the snow and is holding a balloon. I can conclude that the scientists were sent so they could do an experiment with the balloon in the cold wind.
Lucas K (LCMS)
I think that this picture takes place in Antarctica. I know this because Antarctica has a very low population, and there are only three people in the picture. Additionally, I think that the people in red are scientists. I know this because the person in the front of the picture is holding a kite of some sort, and no normal person would fly a kite in a place like this. Furthermore, I think that the people in red are doing an experiment on wind. I know this because the person in red in the front of the picture is looking up to see if the kite is moving because of the wind. Based on the evidence, the people in red are scientists doing experiments on the wind in Antarctica.
Shannon W. (LCMS)
Based on the photograph, I can tell that these people are somewhere cold. I know this because there is snow on the ground. Additionally, I can see that they are wearing snow gear (coats, pants, gloves, hats, boots). In addition, I can tell that the man in the front is doing some type of scientific testing. I know this because he is holding a big red thing that looks like a scientific tool. Furthermore, I can see that they are in a vast, barren landscape. I know this because they are the only ones in the picture and there is no other civilization in sight. Based on the evidence in the picture, there are approximately three people in a very cold, open and empty landscape doing some type of scientific testing.
Jaclyn S (LCMS)
In this picture the men are experimenting and recording data. I know this because there is a man holding a red balloon like instrument and there are other men in the back doing other activities. The setting of this picture takes place in a very cold climate with snow. I know this because the men are in big orange suits and have gloves, hats, and other winter gear on. These men are living here to conduct research for a project. I know this because there are housing units in the back of the picture. In conclusion these men are doing a science related research in a very cold climate.
Gigi D (LCMS)
In this picture this setting looks cold. I know this because there is snow on the ground, moreover, there is a man who is wearing what seems to be snow gear/ snow clothes to help keep him warm. This picture is a man who is trying to figure out what direction the wind is going. I know this because the man has a very big device that seems to be holding the wind to see what direction the wind is blowing. Furthermore there is another man who is going to do the same thing. I know this because he is wearing the same red suit, and he also seems to be playing with something in his hands, which leads me to believe that he has one of those devices as well, but it has not expanded into that yet. Based on all of the evidence that I collected I believe that this is a picture of a few weathermen who are trying to find what direction the wind is blowing in an arctic region of the world.
Christina B. (WHRHS)
There’s a men wearing clothes that are all red and it’s sort of like he’s lifting up a red blimp maybe doing a study or research involving wind current or checking the weather somewhere in a cold area (like Antartica, Alaska,etc.). There are many red things like the man’s clothes, the blimp, and the house.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
Hello @Christina B.! Sounds like you're noticing a repetition of color use in this image -- the bright red clothing, building, and blimp. You're also considering where this might be set and what the central figure is doing. What did you see that made you say he might be doing a research study involving the wind? Or that he might be checking the weather? Tell us more!
Trisha (Watchung Hills)
This image looks like a man or scientist testing an experiment with the wind using some type of weather balloon.
Taylor M (LCMS)
This picture seems to depict a person flying a kite of some sort. I know this because there is a person that is holding strings that lead to a big red kite. In addition this person seems to be in a very cold place. I know this because there is a large amount of snow on the ground and the person flying the kite is in snow gear. Additionally the person in the picture is possibly a scientist. I know this because there is one more person in the back round and it seems that the person is testing something out
Jaden LCMS (LCMS)
In this picture, there is a man in a very cold place, somewhere on the poles. I know this because in the pictures there is no trees or plants, there is only empty horizon and the land is covered in snow. In addition, the people in the picture are setting up some sort of weather balloon. I know this because it is a common tool used by meteorologists and besides the weather, it doesn't have any other practical use. Furthermore, the people in the photo are scientists who are studying the weather in the cold area they are in. I know this because they there is no other reason to be out in that weather, they are wearing bright colored clothes so they can get spotted if they get lost and they are setting up some type of weather balloon. Therefore, there are scientists in a cold area measuring and checking the temperature and weather
Marianna R (WHRHS)
In this picture there looks to be two guys in the back and a guy in the front, who is holding a kite or weather balloon. They may be studying the climate of Antarctica or maybe Alaska.
Ashley (WHRHS)
I think the man is in Antarctica testing the air pressure. They have heavy duty winter clothes on telling us they are somewhere very cold. There is only a few people and the area surrounding them looks deserted
Jenny Miller (New Jersey)
It looks like a group of scientists are either checking air quality or are testing the wind in what might be Antarctica.
Lizzy (watchung hills )
In this picture I think The scientists could be taking a survey of the land using the ballon/blimp. It could be surveying the ice that’s melting of the climate change.
Anthony B (LCMS)
This picture seems to depict a man, maybe a scientist, about to set out a blimp that is a kite. I know this because he is on the ground with the blimp holding the strings about to let it go. They are in a very snowy area, perhaps Antarctica. I know this because there is very much snow in the background and where he is kneeling. There is a team of scientists testing something. I know this because there are people with red coats in the background looking at something. Based on the evidence, there is a team of scientist in a snowy area, with a man about to release a blimp into the sky.
Nikki (WHRHS)
It looks like scientists dressed in red are in Antarctica or somewhere like that and are testing blimp flying or the wind or something.
Mike W (Whrhs)
A scientist is flying a blimp in Anarticia. He /she is trying to do an experiment probably about the wind or the effects of gas in cold weather. It could possibly be a weather ballon.
Anish (New Jersey)
I think this picture is one depicting a weather balloon about to be released in a polar circle to study the weather in that region.
michael Sabatella (WHRHS)
This looks to be taken in antartica or the North Pole. It can either be a test on the weather or an expirement on the wind.
Kelly Rhyner (WHRHS)
Looks like Antartica. It looks like the scientist is doing an experiment with the wind. Maybe to understand the weather. It looks like they are alone.
Amanda W (LCMS)
In the image above, the weather is most likely below freezing, but is definitely below 60o. I know this because there is snow and ice practically everywhere you look in the picture, and the sky is a cold, yet somewhat sunny grey color. Additionally, there is not any visible water in the image. I know this because the ground is all ice and snow. Along with this, there is what looks to be an environmentalist holding a red balloon of some sort. I know this because there are a few other people dressed similarly in the background, so these people may be working in a cold climate for research or other experiments. Overall, based on the evidence, I can infer that the picture was taken of a researching person who is setting a balloon up in a cold environment.
Isabella Perez (WHRHS)
It looks like there is an experiment that’s happening someplace really cold like the North Pole. It looks like a weather balloon to check to see how cold it is. Also the people in it are wearing bright orange snow suits like a uniform
Ty (New York)
I think that this picture is about science and it is trying to see when is more snow coming or trying to see if the snow is going to melt anytime soon or trying to see where is wind coming from or that might just be a hot air ballon
Munickat (<br/>)
I see a polar ice station where people are conducting weather experiments. I say this because of the presence of a snow-covered landscape, men in red raising what seems to be a weather balloon-ish apparatus above the snow. I also see buildings covered in frost and ice, as well as a helicopter in the background which may be waiting for the men to return to warmer climates.
Ashlin Comet (Hanover-Horton )
I believe that this is a picture of scientist or something along the lines floating some type of balloon or kite to check something in the air or wind. I say this because there are usually scientific studies in cold places. There is also two other men in the picture and they look like they are about to conduct the same thing. I also can find that two people are in the red gear while one looks to be in regular clothes for the climate. There is also some type of building behind them which is also red, I do not know if this is coincidence or on purpose. There is poles in the ground in what seem to be random places which makes me wonder if they are marking testing locations.
chase raney (Newport)
In this picture there looks to be two guys in the back and a guy in the front he is holding a kite or weather balloon and the guys in the back could be holding a string to keep it in that area maybe they are studying the climate of antarctica or maybe alaska because is is very snowy .
owen (Newport)
It looks like a couple guys living in maybe Antartica for an experiment that has to do with wind or maybe just a blimp. There are what looks like 3 people there with a snowmobile so they can gather resourses for the project they are working on. It looks like they have power or just have a jenerator.
Brinna Comet (Hanover Horton)
In this picture, it looks like these people have some sort of testing building in a really cold area maybe Antarctica. There seems to be a guy in the picture who is getting ready to let go a mini air balloon. They may be doing this to get video of space or maybe even of just the sky. I say this because he looks like he is about to let it go. It seems to be pretty cold in this area as well because there is a lot of snow and everyone has on big snow suits with gloves and hats. There are also more people in the picture so obviously this guy isn't by himself. Lastly, it looks like these guys have been staying here for awhile because they have some sort of house behind them that looks to be a place where they would stay for awhile.
Vivian (Watchung Hills)
The setting of this picture looks like it is somewhere very cold like the Artic or Antartica because there is snow everywhere. The man in the front looks like he is wearing a snow suit because he is bundled up in layers. He might be a scientist because it looks like he is setting up a blimp or air balloon to test out the atmospheric pressure. The setting also looks very deserted and this might be because he can’t have anyone or anything interfering with his experiment.
Ty (New York)
@Vivian *hot air ballon
Matthew (New Jersey)
There seems to be a scientist who is conducting an experiment on the weather. He is using a kind of weather balloon to make certain calculations and predictions on the climate in some cold, frozen area.
Michael (Watchung Hills)
I think that this is a scientist in Antarctica doing some sort of test. He is maybe measuring the wind and everything is in the color red.
Kylie (WHRHS)
In this photo, I think it's a picture of a man maybe testing the air pressure with whatever he's holding. It could be taken in Alaska or Greenland.
Jack Taub (Watchung Hills )
I think this is a picture of a scientist in Antarctica doing tests. Not sure what the tests are but I think it might have been pollution tests.
Ryan Doherty (WHRHS)
It looks like some kind of weather balloon that the scientist is putting up in one of the poles.
alyssa.comet (Hanover Horton high school)
It looks like scientists maybe in Alaska or Antarctica. They are in a cold place that has a lot of snow you can tell it is cold because they are in heavy suits and the guy who is holding the blimp. There are only a couple people there and obviously they are living there for a while because there are housing units. The guy holding the blimp looks like he is possibly testing the wind direction and velocity.
Taylor H (WHRHS)
I think these are researchers or scientists doing tests with the air.
Julia (watchung hills)
I think the man in red is a scientist or researcher in a cold climate, like Antarctica, and the red thing is a weather balloon or a blimp to test for flight conditions, or both. It doesn’t look like a civilized place at all which is why they have to find out conditions like that and why it’s probably for research purposes.
jenna comet (hanover horton high)
It looks like a scientist is holding a blimp to do some kind of science experiment. It appears that he could be in Antarctica because of all the snow around. What makes me say that is the snowmobile in the back and the mounds of snow there is. There are a few more people in the background of this picture.
Anushka (WHRHS, NJ)
I think there are a bunch of scientists doing an experiment somwhere in like alaska or antartica. They could be testing the air to see if its habitable or are trying to figure out something related to global warming.
Cullen (Watching Hills Regional Highschool)
I believe that this image is a scientist in a place like Antarctica testing out a weather balloon or other monitoring scientific device.
Hüseyin (Cyprus)
I think they are scientists working at polar zones to collect data about the weather.
Teresa (Watchung Hills Regional High School)
This seems to be a picture of maybe a scientist putting a balloon in the air to measure different things in the atmosphere.
Christopher G. (WHRHS)
Judging from the amount of snow and the researchers highly protective weather gear. It can be concluded that this is a research outpost in Antarctica and a researcher is using a red weather balloon to test wind directions or the effects of global warming.
Gina fiacco (Whrhs)
I think they are trying to see the weather, I see red, and the white snow. They might be trying to see the if the land is capable for people to live there, or if the weather to see if the ice will melt or not.
Alex (New Jersey)
In this photo, it is looking like this guy in the red jacket is releasing a big red balloon into the atmosphere to maybe record something or show something about where he. It looks really cold and there is a lot of snow with no mountain ranges or other houses, so he might be in Antarctica or somewhere else desolate.
Mary Elias (Watchung Hills )
It appears as if there are scientists or people involved with discoveries of the planet in Antarctica or Alaska and they are releasing a red air balloon in the air, maybe to test the air pressure and see if the atmosphere is favorable for life conditions.
Tina (WHRHS)
In the picture, there is a man holding a giant red balloon with flaps on it. He is somewhere cold with a lot of snow, probably somewhere around the poles. The is a building heavily covered in ice in the background. The balloon probably is a scientific instrument that could measure stuff in the atmosphere.
Aniket Chatterjee (Whrhs)
There is a scientist in the Antartica, and he has a lodge or cabin in the back. He is performing some kind of test since he is holding something that is ballon shape in the air to find some kind of value.
P7Oxgangs (Edinburgh)
We think the people are scientists in cold place: possibly Antarctica, Greenland, the Artic, Canada or Alaska. It's very snowy and icy.We think they're doing tests or experiments. The balloon we think is for measuring weather. The sticks we think are for marking out a road or track so the people don't get lost if it snows.
