How many paleoclimatologists were there during the summer?

MakaylaThis year the scientists that studied pre-historic climates worked on the two southernmost islands, separate from out expedition, but still part of our project.  They worked for about 6 weeks on Kunashir and Iturup, so we never saw them in Russia, since we didn't go to those islands this year.  Last year, they were working on Urup, while we went to those islands, so this year was their turn to go there.
