continent (last night's photo was of the Shetland Islands) left me
speechless for minutes staring out my starboard window in my underwear.
After finally pulling myself away from the window, I was able to get
permission to run around on deck with my camera going full burst fire
speed! With my Carhart issued pants and coat, I tromped around on the
Starboard side 01 deck. COLD! I forgot that wind cuts through clothes
fairly easily. I took a few amazing pictures and ran back inside, waiting
by the door window for more opportunities to present itself. Later, after
a waiting for the sun to dawn fully, I donned more layers of wind-proofing
and took some wonderful photographs! As another one of the grad students
in our group said, "It just doesn't look real!"
Currently, we are calibrating the sonar equipment and visual range finding
and had one successful CTD cast! Our instruments for measuring particles
(both size and number) were also a part of the cast and collected data
successfully. Once the data logger closer to being full, we will download
and process.
More coming later!
