| Tuesday morning the dive tent was moved from Station 57 to Station 53.
The first photo shows the dive tent over Station 53 with Station 48 (just
the left of the Orange hut) and McMurdo Station in the backround. The divers
collected sediment samples and the samples were processed as before. The
second photo shows Christian McDonald (a McMurdo Station Diver) assisting
Rob Robins (the Dive Master for McMurdo Station) in his preparations for
the dive. Water samples were successfully collected at this site. While
sampling Station 53 we noticed that a weddell seal had made use of the hole
that we left behind from Station 68 (third photo). In the evening we were
invited to a screening of a nature program by Christian McDonald who was
a diver in the documentary. Norman Wu accurately depicted the Antarctic
experience as well as breath taking underwater photography; keep an eye
out for the program on PBS in January 2002. |
