Your project sounds amazing. What things are you most looking forward to about your expedition? Do you know exactly what kinds of sampling methods you'll be using? Will your sampling be done through the ice or out on one of the ships?

Hi!Thanks! I'm pretty excited--I think it sounds amazing too. There are
SO many things I'm looking forward to: wildlife sightings, being
surrounded by the 40 (or so) scientists at Palmer Station, and learning
some new things about chemistry and chemical ecology.
I don't know much about the sampling yet, but I do know we'll be going
out on a zodiac to collect the samples. The researchers on my project
will be diving to collect, and I'll be one of the dive tenders on the
zodiac.
Thanks again for the questions!
