Aloha Simone!
How exciting to be starting your expedition on the Healy! Our school is back in session on Monday so we will be closely monitoring your mission. I wonder how things have changed in two years? Is there more ice? Are there fewer seals? What kinds of plankton will you find?
Best of luck at this exciting time! Know we are all cheering you on from right below you, 2000 miles south :)
warmly, Mrs. P (et all)
