A light meter at the South Pole!

The LM76  light meter from the Multimetrix® brand is quite a traveller. It recently made it to Antarctica with the ACROSS ANTARCTICA 2014. With a mainly educational focus, this expedition's aim was to allow teachers to put into practice the scientific methods which they teach their students. The expedition provided data for analysis linked to the secondary-school Physics & Chemistry curriculum: cold, climate, health... and lighting conditions!
 In this very low-temperature environment, the LM76 from Multimetrix® proved its worth. It was used to perform exceptional lighting measurements in this extremely white environment (the Antarctic is known as the white continent).

Still in working order when they brought it back, the LM76 light meter survived this testing adventure in the extreme cold.

And for its next expedition, somewhere close to the Equator, perhaps?
