Mommy!

I know you don't have internet so you won't get this for a while. How many different kinds of animals have you seen and what kinds do you want to see? 

Thank you!

Alice

Hi Alice!
We have seen seals and a few birds and polar bears so far. We had one gullthat followed the ship for several days up near 83N, 150W. We are nowheading south along the latitude 140 which (get out a map!) is closer toland than we have been previously. So I am told that we will see morewildlife in the next few days.
What wildlife do I want to see?? Well, I want to see whatever is outthere and not miss it because I am working somewhere or asleep. Rememberthat it is light out 24 hours a day so we are always on the lookout.
I am looking forward to having you cook for me when I get home.
love,
MOM
