Hi Rob-
I love your journal entries! And thanks for asking and finding the answers to my questions. I really appreciate it.
My guess is that you haven't taken a swim in the southern ocean. Just a guess, but Antarctica is hard to get to and not too many people have. Am I right or wrong?
Now onto the bearded seal. Have the Inupiat noticed any changes in the quantity or quality of the bearded seals taken? I had heard that their Inupiat name does not name them as a seal. It is the equivalent of 'meat.'
Lastly, have the Inupiats and/or the scientists noticed a melting of the permafrost over the last ten years or so?
Thank you so much for all your good writing and hard work. I am learning so much!
warmly,
Maggie
