Sunday Jan. 18th 2009

We are not able to get photos to upload. Still trying. We have a lecture on volcanoes in Antarctica and other places in a few minutes, a mandatory drill on how to get on and off the zodiacs, and a lecture on "ice" today! We will be in Antarctica tomorrow! Learned last night that a whale in the south pole can call out and a whale in the north pole can hear it!! The scientist said there would be no reason why they would do that but their sound capicity they produce would allow it!! Crazy! Maybe they could say I'll meet you half way and meet at the equator!
The seas have calmed down and everyone is better. Some better than others!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences.

I'll be boarding the Minerva on the day you return. Your posts add to my excitement!

Wishing you smooth seas and sunshine.
