MCMURDO STATION, ANTARCTICA– Last Wednesday the Main Team left Moss Landing, bound for Antarctica. But before leaving, I played one last morning of beach volleyball – as I won’t get much beach in my volleyball down south! Here is a short video of what my friends think of Antarctica.
Stacy Kim is a benthic ecologist; she studies the animals that live on and in the seafloor and how they interact with one another in a community. Working in Antarctica gives her the opportunity to understand an ecosystem in balance, one that is minimally impacted by human activities. Observing her frustration with the physiological limitations on scuba diving depths and the logistic constraints on selecting experimental and sampling sites in Antarctica, engineer (and her husband) Bob Zook designed SCINI as a tool to allow research in deeper, more remote polar habitats.
