I JUS WANT TO KNOW IF YOU GUYS EXPERIMENT ANY WILD ANIMALS UP THERE, AND DO U MISS YOUR FAMILY? HOW IS IT UP THERE, IS IT FUN?

Hello, RJ- thanks for the note.None of our research involved animals, except for keeping an eye out for
marine mammals so we could keep our distance and avoid disturbance
whenever possible.
I did miss my family, and am very happy to be home now!
Being on the ship was a good combination of work, new things, and fun.
I really enjoyed meeting so many great people and being in a part of the
world I never expected to see.
