I hope you're having fun in Antarctica.

I was wondering is the waves in Antarctica are larger than those on the east coast. Also on the same note, how far does the continental shelf extends and how steep is it. What kind of beaches are there, rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, and what kind if rock makes up Antarctica, granitic, basaltic, sedimentary, or metamorphic?

Thanks Eli

Hi Eli,I'm assuming this is Ocean Bowl Jaenicke? These are great questions and I will get back to you on them. I won't arrive to Palmer Station until 2-14. It's a long trip! Please keep following along; I'll be posting journals every day en route!
