Seawater Property Changes in the Southern Ocean

Hi Mr.Botella

I am Fiona Daniels in Mr.Wood's 2nd period science class at Talbert Middle School. I have a couple of questions I need to ask you if you don't mind answering them. What is the weather like on your expedition? What kinds of animals of you seen so far? How is it living on a boat? How many species of penguins have you seen?

Thank you and hope to hear from you soon,

Thank you for the consideration of reading this email.

Hi Fiona, thanks for writing. We have had different weather, but mostly cold and
overcast. We have had several storms with snow , lots of wind and heavy
seas, but also a few sunny days.
About the animals, I have seen the following flying birds: Skuas, Petreles
and Albatross. I have seen the following seals: Wedell, Leopard and
Crabeater. We saw from a far distance Minke whales and Orcas, and form a
very close distance HUmpback whales. We have seen tons of Adélie penguins
and a few Emperor penguins. You can see pictures of all of them on the
journal
Thanks for writing,
Juan.
