Diomede's Webcam

That's right! At long last, our webcam can now be viewed around the world thanks to our friend, Amos. You can check it out here: Diomede's Webcam. Or, for more control, visit it form within the BSSD network here. From this site, you are able to control the camera, zoom in on Russia, or scope out our school. Enjoy!

No problem! Just let us know and I'll rustle up some materials.
