Adaptations of Marine Worms in Antarctica

In what place or thing do you live? What kind of food do you guys eat? Also what animals have you seen?

Kaylee,Thanks for the questions.
We live in a heated building, that feels a lot like a college dorm.
There are long hallways with 10-15 rooms. Each room can house 2-4
people. On each hallway, there is a bathroom with showers. It's
actually quite nice.
For food, we usually eat in the Galley. This is a lot like your school
cafeteria. Our food is prepared and we can take as much as we like.
There's also a place to put our dirty dishes. The food has been good!
You can check out our dorm room and the galley in a journal that we did

As for the animals, we've had a lot of close encounters with seals, and
amazing animals below the ice. These include: marine worms, sponges,
fish, sea spiders, anemones, jellyfish, nudibranchs, sea stars, and sea
urchins. We've posted quite a few underwater photos. You should check
out our most recent journal, which has some underwater photos. You can

Thanks for the questions!
