What is in the soil, have you found any worms?

Hi Micheal,Yes, there are worms. They are of the very small (microscopic) variety though. They are called nematodes and they feed on the bacteria we are studying.Not a whole lot of life going on in this area though. Very few birds, no land mammals, hardly any insects, mostly a lot of ice and mountains. It is still an incredibly beautiful place and I am so glad I got to see it.Bye for now.JK
