Hi Megan -
New Zealand is full of beautiful creatures. It is actually two islands with lots of little atolls that make up the country of New Zealand.
I like jellyfish too.
Thanks for the question and have a great holiday.

Hi Megan -
I hve not found any of the crystals because I did not work on Mount Erebus. My project worked under the sea ice. We saw anemones, starfish, jellyfish, and lots of other cool animals.
I was in Antarctica for 6 weeks. I just left yesterday morning and I am currently in...{read more}
Hi New Start Middle School -
It is great that you all want to make your own ROV. It is actually a bit harder to make a skinny SCINI. The best thing to do is use PVC pipe and propellar thrusters. You can play around with the design of the ROV and try to make it as skinny as possible. ...{read more}
Hi -
Yes, the ice is melting. You can see examples everywhere. They will be "closing" the ice to large vehicles in the next day or two. The surface is all slushy. As the temperatures are increasing the ice is cracking in lots of places.
A man died on the ice in the...{read more}
Hi -
It's nice to hear from you. I had a really nice Thanksgiving and I'm glad you did too. I love being in Antarctica. Every day is something new and the scenery is amazing. I saw quite a few penguins during the first three weeks but I now I mainly see seals. Tell Kenny I said...{read more}
Hi Auntie -
You have a keen eye. It is lots of fun but it is also lots of work. I feel a lot stronger than I did when I first got here.
Sleeping in the snow was fun. I was proud that I did it too. This place really pushes you to go as far as you can. It also humbles you. It...{read more}
Hi Jillian, Juan, Ricky, Rosaleo, Kris, Andreya, Zach, Sonya, Quinton, Anthony, Alex and Jesus -
I am feeling better. The doctor gave me some antibiotics and some cough medicine and each day I feel a little bit better. The team is really great. Everyone helps each other and I really...{read more}
Hi Andreya -
I hope your first day went well. I am sure that you will enjoy being in Jillian's class.
The most irritating thing so far is knowing that I have to leave. We have been working really hard to get everything done by a certain date. It means that we don't get to do...{read more}
Hi Sonya -
Heald Island is an amazing place. I think the fact that no one has been there before makes it really special. Yesterday was our last trip and we went a total of 8 times.
The weather on Heald Island could be very different from McMurdo Station. One day it was cloudy...{read more}
Hi Jeremy -
That's a really good question. We use four computers in the field and we take them home with us every day. In addition we keep the tent warm and use a heater if it gets too cold outside.
We also take SCINI home every day. We don't want anything to happen to it. We...{read more}
