26 days to go
Tagged Under : Bering Sea
I leave for my Bering Sea adventure in 26 days! Oh my gosh. That’s not even four weeks. Wow. I need to do my taxes.
They’re gradually putting together the part of the website that will deal with my expedition. You can head over there now to read my first piece of writing, the “About the Expedition” piece. I explain a bit about the science on the trip and the ship we’ll be on. Future installments will include my snazzy descriptions of the various sampling tools people are using on the ship (do you know what a Van Veen grab is? Neither did I!) and, eventually, the daily updates. Those won’t start until April 4.
Nice! I like the pics on the first post…
Will there be an RSS feed for the daily updates?
Well, now, that is a good question. I’ll ask.
If it will hurt the ecosystem when the ice goes away, then I’m afraid I can’t support you taking a ship called an icebreaker there. Application to science-write – denied.
Funny you should mention that – I just saw this yesterday:

okay, i’m now really excited to read about your adventure. icebreakers ride up ONTO the ice to break it? who knew!
