Picture of the Day for
We are currently steaming around
the northern sector of the survey grid looking for a location to establish our
3rd and final process station.� Unfortunately,
the last storm has generated a sizeable ocean swell that has broken up most of
the ice in this region.� So we are having
a hard time locating a good floe to work with.
Ingenuity is always an important
component of a long cruise.� In today's picture,
we see a game of 9-pin Hall Bowling.� One
of the advantages of being in the ice is that there is little if any boat
movement.� This makes it possible to use
the hall as a bowling lane.� We made pins
out of nalgene bottles filled with just enough water
and the bowling ball was our multi-functional ball that just a few days earlier
was used for soccer on the ice.� These evening activity gives a nice close to a day of hard work in
the labs analyzing samples.� (Photo by Dan Costa).
