Seawater Property Changes in the Southern Ocean

Dear Mr. Botella, Hello. My name is Laura and I am from Talbert Middle School, and am in Mr. Woods fourth period science class. If you don't mind I would like to ask you a few questions. To start, what is it like to be on a boat for a three months? What types of wild life have you seen? If you've seen penguins, what type?

                                                                                                                     Thanks,
                                                                                                                               Laura

Hi Laura, thanks for writing. Living on the boat has been great because I am
learning a lot and I have a lot of projects. It would be very boring if I
had nothing to do.
I have seen the following animals: flying birds: Skuas, Petreles and
Albatross. I have seen the following seals: Wedell, Leopard and Crabeater.
We saw from a far distance Minke whales and Orcas, and form a very close
distance Humpback whales. We have seen tons of Adélie penguins and a few
Emperor penguins. You can see pictures of all of them on the journal
Thanks for writing,
Juan.
