We had a great plan for the day. Half of our team would fly to Lake Hoare to work on an long-term experiment where the samples are at different elevations along a hillside, the other half of our team would cross Lake Bonney to conduct our SLIME (Soil-Lake Inundation Moat Experiment). One thing I have learned here in Antarctica is...things change. Skies did not allow helicopter flights today. The new plan: All team members from C-507 (Wormherders) were to cross the lake to the SLIME site.
Here is a short video showing how serious we are keeping Antarctica pristine:
I will start doing Utah Penguin Shout-Outs in my next journals. They were sent from my Biology students. Enjoy viewing this "wildlife".
