Hi there! I am a colleague of Maren Nelson, in Chaska MN. The enthusiasm her class has shown for PolarTREC is catching on with our class too! We love your WHAIZIT postings, and have determined that the skull must be an elephant seal because of your clue. Mrs. Nelson and a student measured out 20 feet in our lunchroom today, to show all of us how long elelphant seals can grow. Your pictures of the quinzee have captivated the interest of one of our students, in particular. Perhaps you'll hear more from him! Also, our class thinks it would be fun to try to walk around with buckets over their heads! You might be interested to know that when we returned to school on Wednesday, it was 32 degrees colder here in MN than at McMurdo Station! (-5 F here, and a balmy 27 F there) For us hearty Minnesotans, that is bragging rights! Cheers to all. Ann Berne-Rannow
