Hello my name is Frankie Scarpulla I am in the 6th grade at St. Mark Catholic School. I was wondering in the Artic have you seen a lot of sea life?

Hi Frankie- great to hear from you!On this trip the sea life has fallen into four categories: Birds, Seals, Whales, and Bears.
We've seen a variety of seabirds including gulls, shearwaters, auklets, and murres. We've seen ringed and bearded seals along with minke, sei, and gray whales. And perhaps my favorite, we've seen polar bears.
