What a cool adventure!

Aloha to you and the great people on the Healy!

What a cool mission you are on. I am following your posts and find them all very interesting. It is amazing to think that you are almost straight up from us, but the ocean is so much different. We are interested in what you are finding out...{read more}

symbiotic relationships? &

Hello Imani!

Goodness, although I never took a step in the tundra, I know that lichens do very well in a very cold environment. When I was in Antarctica, I saw lots and lots of lichens. Because there is little competition, except from other lichens, this tough life form does very well....{read more}

Aloha to the multicore team

Hello Heather!

  You are truly living 'reefer madness' aren't you? Last year Bonnie was the poor polar parka pooba. I swear if I had to spend long times in zero temperatures I would slip those hand and feet warmers in my gear. You are one tough lady;)

  May I ask you to tell me...{read more}

Who's your roomies and what

Aloha Jillian!

Just wondering who is on the Healy to continue research this year? Last year we had a crew from Seattle that did zooplankton study (initially led by Dr. Jeff Napp), we had Kathy and Liz (and David who is now at Hawaii Pacific University here in the Islands) doing birds, Dr...{read more}

Galapagos penguins

Hi Lollie!

Just thought I would add a little bit about the farthest north nesting penguins, the Galapagos penguins. Yes there is a species of penguins that lives in the 'tropics', the Galapagos penguins. Penguins are considered southern hemisphere animals, but this variety has evolved to...{read more}

Why are the parkas red?

Hi Mindy-

So why are the parkas you all wear down in Antarctica red? And why are the bellys of icebreakers red? Or is that a generality? Just wondering. Always wondering.

warmly,

Maggie

Yes, not all whalers follow traditions

Aloha Al-

It is true that not all subsistence hunters follow traditions. When I was on the Healy, and spoke with Lee, he told me not all whaling teams followed traditional methods and harpoons, even with traditional hunting guides, employ 'bombs' that explode on impact with the whale to...{read more}

Spontaneous Generation

Hi Mary Anne-

Things rot so fast here, you can watch them decay.

I used to do an inquiry lab based on the old spontaneous generation experiment. The kids enjoyed it up to a point, the smells became overwhelming after just a few days. They don't forget it though.

I hope you...{read more}

Hawaii verses Brookings

Hi Jon!

Of course I remember you :)

As far as Hawaii verses Brookings.

Brookings, OR is right on the coast of the Pacific Ocean about 20 miles from the California town of Cresent City. It is beautifully cool, and carries the title, 'Home of Winter Flowers' It also grows lots...{read more}
