Hi again! Congrats on a successful expedition. Through Samantha's f.b. it looks like overall everything went pretty well for you guys. Crazy start to the season but seems like it all worked out for you in the end. Was going through your journals with my students today, wow, you took some terrific photos.
On another topic, I just messaged back and forth with my student Justin Lawrence, his team is at Mcmurdo now. Not sure if you're in flight, or stranded with poor weather conditions, so if you're looking for something to do, I think you guys would really hit it off. We're hopefully Skyping with Justin on Thursday at 1:35pm (our EST) which I think is Friday 7:35am your time. Feel free to jump in if you're around! Here's Justins team info in case it helps you locate him: Dry Valleys LTER Site: http://www.mcmlter.org/ Priscu Research Group: http://www.montana.edu/priscu/ The actual project he's on: http://www.montana.edu/priscu/research/current/desert%20IV.php
take care and safe travels home, Lisa
