Hello Mr. Botella! I am Hanna, a 6th grader, from Mr. Wood's 1st period Science class! Did you know he is going on an expedition soon, too? Anyways, how close have you gotten to a wild animal? Just curious. Hope you reply back, and have an AWESOME trip for the rest of your time! Love, Hanna

  P.S: That super moon was GORGOUS!

Hi Hannah, thanks for writing. I have gotten within a few meters of a Wedell seal
and Adélie penguins. A group of four humpback whales got very close to the
ship last Saturday as well. Tell Mr. Woods I congratulate him for his
upcoming expedition. Thanks for wishing me an awesome rest of my trip; it
has already been awesome and I hope it will continue to be so. I am glad
you liked the moon pictures.
Juan.
