Tell us about Zodiac excursions
Thoroughly enjoyable; safe at all times. Most memorable: pulling up on to pack ice and being able to walk around a bit on the ice.
Tell us about the expedition team
Extremely knowledgable and friendly. Stand outs: Cheli for her ceaseless work and incredible humor, and Kate for her dedication to data collection and sharing knowledge; the entire scientific and historical staff were excellent. Loved Robert's lectures, especially his 2-part series about over-wintering at the South Pole station. Though technically not staff, it was wonderful to have Paige and Tim on board sharing their benthic habitat imagery processed from data collected while en route, as well as their knowledge and experience in deep sea research. The entire staff worked very hard and did it with smiles and respect to the voyagers.
