Hi Ms. Herrmann!

It was really nice to Skype with you last week and get a view of Antarctica. That was a good idea. I am having fun looking at all of you scientific pictures--animals especially--and can't wait to see more! Have you seen any more leopard seals recently?

We miss you, Sophie and LE (everyone)

Hi Sophie!I'm on the ship now on my way to Punta Arenas, Chile. I did see leopard seals hanging around Arthur Harbor on my last day at Palmer Station. Luckily we only had to do one recall of the divers because of a leopard seal. I'm glad you are enjoying the wildlife photos. I have many more to share, along with videos. It was fun to Skype with 2nd period last week. I really enjoyed that too. Did you enjoy your mini spring-break?
See you soon,
-Ms. Herrmann
