Finally, a scientific station – Baffin Bay One! The Amundsen was humming with activity yesterday as everyone, in parallel, worked on their research. The station started at 4:00 am and finished at 10:00pm, and there was work to do before and after, so many people were up for more than 24 hours, working on any number of things – trace metal casts, high volume pumps, primary productivity casts, CTD profiles, aerosol sampling\u2026 The fish team found lots of copepods and a large jellyfish. Clara finished the first incubation of her ocean acidification experiment. Trace metal concentrations were analyzed – apparently, the instrument for analyzing zinc is running very well, so Dave stayed up analyzing zinc for 24 hours. A thousand other small and large things were done, and everyone was excited to finally, after such a long break, be doing the scientific research they had planned and prepared for, months and years ago, in offices and labs and late-night coffeeshops across the country.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, quietly, we\u2019ve crossed the Arctic circle. Neptune has been laying low for a bit – probably all the science – but we\u2019ve heard the return of the cackling on the radio, so he\u2019s still out there – maybe we\u2019ll see him tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
