Hey John,

Hello Again, We Finshed Out Experiments Over At The Pond That We Were

Studying And We Found A Bunch Of E-coly In The Pond. Also We Found Out

That The Pond Is Contaminated. The Science I Am Interested In Would Probaly

Be Studying Volcanoes Like You Do. It Sounds Like A Lot Of Work To Do When

You Get To Mt. Erubus. An About The Lava Lake On The Volcano Is Pretty

Kool. What Kinda Safety Training Do You Have To Go Threw!? Do You Get To

Go Up An Close To The Lava!? Well Until Next Time...

Buh-Bye

Hello Rosaleo,
Yes, that "e-coly" can be nasty!  Working on Volcanoes can be hard.  When I arrive in Antarctica I will spend at least two days in survival training and another day with safety items in and around the laboratory. During this trip we will not be getting too close to the lava lake, but we will be able to see it and take photos.  I will try and get a good picture of the lava for you!
Later,
John
