Last night, the Aurora Borealis:
 |
| Over a setting sun at 23:45 |
Tonight's adventure, walking out to the Ithaca at lowtide.
 |
| Our fantastic bear guard, Krista, taking it very seriously! Thanks! |
 |
| The Ithaca |
 |
| This is Caleigh and Krista: "I wonder what would happen if I squeezed it..." |
 |
| It squirts out! |
 |
| Matt karate chopping the giant kelp (we were walking on what is normally under water so there was kelp and seaweed and algae everywhere.) |
 |
| Ribbon cutting ceremony: attempt number 2 |
 |
| We mad it! |
 |
| There is a hole in the hull. Hi Celia! |
 |
| Let's all jump at the same time on a rusting out ship with holes in the floor. Great idea! |
 |
| Not what we wanted to see: A polar bear came up on the bluffs between us, out at the Ithaca, and the trucks. Luckily, it decided that it wasn't interested in us and wandered away down the beach. Thanks to Krista, who took charge, we all made it safely back to the trucks without firing a shot. |
 |
| Bright sunsets |
 |
| And neon pink skies. |
Also interviewed the other plover lover, Anne. Thanks for the great interview today!
And found three really cool articles for my research on pigments and their use on the benthic and phytoplankton communities + (unexpectedly but awesomely) a nutrient study combining the pigment analysis! How perfect is that?
