To those who are a long ways away from family & friends, we wish you a Blessed Christmas, safe journey, and we are looking forward to hearing your stories about your grand adventure.

From Steph Vos family in upstate New York.

Thank you for your warm holiday wishes. We had a wonderful Christmas Eve here on board the Oden, and today we had a restful morning and a very productive afternoon and evening - one science team recovered a mooring buoy that was placed in the water down here last year and deployed two new buoys, and the crab study team currently has a camera sled in the water filming the sea floor. It's 2am here and the sun is shining brightly! I'm off to bed - we hope to be back out on the ice tomorrow! Keep reading the journals - I just submitted 2 new ones! Cheers!
