Oden Antarctic Expedition 08

Hi Uncle Jeff,

 Wow! that krill movie was amazing! It was a very entertaining movie to watch. During the whole movie me and Jake were exclaiming " I LOVE MY UNCLE I LOVE MY UNCLE"!   We could just not believe the great footage that you took! I love the title too!Surprised It blew my mind!  Did your hand freeze???

P.S. I can't wait to see you again! It won't be too long!

                                                      Love, your missing you neice,

Rachel,When I am this far from home, it makes me feel so good to know that you had just the reaction to my little video that I hoped you would when I made it.  The truth is that the water was below the freezing point of fresh water but I didn’t care at all.  I just kept thinking how exciting it was to be here and to see the krill doing their krill stuff.  My hands were underwater but I was thinking of how you would like the video.  I would have kept shooting more underwater scenes but I had to go help track down a seal!  I hope that throughout your life you visit places and have experiences this cool.  Everything is so amazing here that I don’t want to sleep at night and miss anything.  I also am excited to come home and see you and all of my family and friends again. Now, you and I have to think of an awesome trip that our families can take together.  I’ll bring the camera!
Love,
Uncle Jeff
