Hey!

We were wondering if anybody has fallen into the water or purposely went swimming? If so did they get hypothermia?

From Melanie and Abbie in Mr. Schleafer's 7th grade science class.

P.S. Do you know Mackenzie Levin?

Hi Melannie and Abby, thanks for writing. Luckily for us, no one has fallen into the water. It
would be a very bad idea because the water temperature is below freezing
and with all the waves and the bat moving, it would be very hard to find
someone floating on the water. On the other hand, I did hear that someone
went swimming while we were at McMurdo Station. I guess it is like doing
the polar plunge at lake Mendota...
Juan.
P.S. Yes, I do know Mckenzie; please say hi to her when you see her.
