I must have mapped out the ocean’s physical properties for over a dozen terminating glaciers and each one is unique and leaves me in complete awe. Really, they are fascinating and I suggest you create the opportunity to see one in your lifetime. They are slow-moving frozen rivers comprising...
Read moreElizabeth Varner has been busy sending us clear low-resolution pictures to our primitive satellite email.

Read moreExploratory research is a labor of love. If you had a choice to further science by developing the methods for an emerging study that directly monitors the influence of climate change, would you? We make it happen, aside of our limited time and resources before our big sea floor...
Read moreCaptain Matt and I are waiting out some stronger winds before heading back South to Sismut and finishing our work along the way. We are pretty comfortable on anchor hiding on the leeward side of Upernavik Island. Soon we will fuel up and get some food from a food...
