Dear Mr. Botella

I am Danielle from John Woods 6th grade, period 3 science class. I have a couple of questions I’d like to ask you of course if you don’t mind. I would like to know what kind of animals you have seen? Also, I’d like to know if you are having fun on the boat? One last thing I love the pictures you took. Hope you write back soon!

Hi Danielle, thanks for writing, I do not mind answering your questions. 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.
I am having lots of fun down here. Every body is very friendly and there
are a lot of things to do and learn. I am glad you like the pictures. Good
luck in the rest of the school year.
Juan.
