Journal

Today was my PolarConnect event, and it was great to have the opportunity to share my experiences with attendees. There were some great questions asked, and I am grateful to the scientists who attended and shared their enthusiasm and expertise. One of the biggest positives I have experienced on this expedition is the willingness of the scientists and students to share their research. I have so many things now to use in the classroom, and I'm excited to be seeing my students in a few weeks.

We are headed toward Kodiak Island where the crew of the Healy will conduct some training operations. I am surrounded by the natural beauty of Alaska and still reflecting on the discoveries of the expedition.

The Aleutian Islands may be seen in the distance.
