Adaptations of Marine Worms in Antarctica

HI I'm Emily from Mrs.Herrman's Polar Ambassadors . How much longer are you going to be in Antarctica and are you enjoying your time there? What is the longest time you have stayed underwater during a dive? The animals there are really amazing. Do you have one that you like the most? Thank you, Emily

Hi Emily!Yes, I am loving my time here in Antarctica. If only I could stay
longer! Sadly, I must leave in three short weeks from today. It will
be over before you know it.
The longest dive I have done so far this year was 44 minutes. I have
seen a lot of amazing animals. It's too hard to pick just one that I
like the most. Two of the coolest things I have seen this trip involved
Weddell seals. One dive, we saw two of them playing underwater, sort of
wrestling. A different dive, I watched a seal scratch their back on a
rock underwater at 80 feet. Amazing!
Thanks for the great questions.
Mike
