I am stationed at McMurdo station on Ross Island. Our research is focused on examining how temperature affects biological processes using the cold adapted Antarctic fish as our model organisms. I will be updating my blog as often as possible with stories and pictures of both the science and the non-science activities that we are involved in.Dan Hassumanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16356502196003757762noreply@blogger.comBlogger120125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176236204978633208.post-36026655306152030182012-11-19T03:29:00.000-08:002012-11-19T03:29:33.295-08:00Monday, November 19, 2012Well, today was my last day in Antarctica. It was a very bittersweet feeling to be leaving this incredible and magical place. There is so much history and mystery here. I really do love it. I know that I can't really say with full conviction that I will never be back. I would love to come back again, and maybe someday I can. But for now, the lyrics from the song, "I and Love and You" by The Avett Brothers just keep repeating in my head. It is making me feel very emotional. All I have to do is change the word Brooklyn to Portland and this song is just perfect. It really is making me choke up. I am listening to it right now as I write this last blog post and nothing else can really describe how I feel. However, the words, "I and Love and You" are not hard for me to say at all.<div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Load the car and write the note </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Grab your bag and grab your coat </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tell the ones that need to know, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are headed north </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One foot in and one foot back, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it don't pay, to live like that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So i cut the ties and i jumped the tracks, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For never to return. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ah Portland Portland take me in. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you aware the shape I'm in? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My hands they shake my head it spins </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ah Portland Portland take me in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I can't wait to get home. This has been such an incredible season, but it is now over. And there is nothing I want more than to be home. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
However, I won't end my final blog post like that. I will end it just how I have ended all of my other blog posts, with some great pictures from a great day and a great season. </div>

I love this shot. The joke is pretty subtle, but I still love it. Remember, scientists are refereed to as "Beakers" down here. This is the only street sign that I have seen in McMurdo. Of course, it says "Beaker St" and is right next to the Crary lab.</div>

I leave on Monday, November 19th. Today was my last "McMurdo brunch." They always have something special at brunch. Today, there were a couple of things that were new for me. First, there was the chocolate fountain with strawberries. Why would we not have that in Antarctica?!?!?!<br />

Here are some pictures of the Scott tents. These tents are almost identical to the ones that Robert F. Scott and his party used when they were making their trip to the South Pole in 1912. I think it is pretty impressive that we are still using the same kinds of tents they used 100 years ago!<br />

The first thing that I got to do was to chat with a 5th grade classroom from Portland. I told them about my adventures and research down here and they had some amazing questions about my time down here as well. Here are a couple of pictures from our chat.<br />

The rest of the day just involved returning lab supplies. But I was able to show some friends the Antarctic Toothfish again. Here are some more pictures of the Toothfish with some people in the shot so that you can have some perspective. I hope you enjoy!</div>

It was bittersweet for me because I don't think that I will ever be able to come back down here. Of course, I also said that last year and look at me now. So, who knows what the future holds for me with regards to Antarctica, but for now, I have to believe that this will be the last time I am down here. We took some people from town out as well as some photographers. Brad went with them to drill a hole so that we could return fish and Marissa and I followed about an hour later. We were on two snowmobiles and we returned about 2-300 fish!<br />
<br />
Here are some of the people we took out with us fishing in our fish hut at the Cape Evans Wall.<br />

I don't have any picture from today, but I do have some more great pictures and a video of the beautiful, incredible and rare Antarctic Toothfish in the Crary lab. I won't get on a soap box and tell you all about the commercial fishery that is regulated by CCAMLR again. If you need a refresher, please feel free to re-read my post from the other day. Today, I will just post a video and some pictures for you to enjoy. In these, there are some "borks" in the tank as well. I hope that helps to give you an idea of how big this fish is!<br />

And I submitted it to Brad! It felt so so amazing to have that draft done! I also helped out my friend in picking up some equipment from his dive hut. We took snowmobiles out to get his stuff. It was a beautiful day with no wind, super sunny and the temp was +10 F! Here we are at his dive site with our snowmobiles. It was a beautiful day out!<br />

And then, the coolest thing of the entire season happened! One of the science groups down here is fishing for the Antarctic Toothfish, <i>Dissostichus mawsoni</i>, and they caught one!!! The Toothfish is also know as Chilean Sea Bass on menus and in grocery stores around the world. Please, if you ever sea that on a menu or at the store, NEVER ORDER IT. These fish are incredible and are a huge part of the ecosystem in the Ross Sea. As adults they grow larger than 6 feet in length and can be over 200 pounds. In the past, the science teams fishing for them were able to catch up to 500 fish in a season. All are tagged and returned to the ocean. In the mid 1990's, commercial fishing boats started coming to the Ross Sea to fish for the Antarctic Toothfish. They have been taking millions of tons of fish out of the sea every year and it has destroyed the Toothfish population. Last year, the science group working on the Toothfish only caught one fish. ONE! And it wasn't even an adult, it was a small juvenile. In about 15 years, commercial fishing in the Ross Sea has all but eliminated the Antarctic Toothfish from these waters. Now, I know that people probably wondering if the fishery is regulated, and it is. However, it is not regulated using scientific facts. CCAMLR is the company that regulates the the fishery and they decided early on that they would take 3000 tons of fish every year. However, no one knows how many fish are here, when they spawn, how often they reproduce etc. We know that it takes them about two years to mature to an adult, but we don't know when they start reproducing or even if they reproduce every year. Hundreds of the most world renowned Antarctic scientists have tried to get CCAMLR to stop fishing for the Toothfish until we can gain more knowledge, but they have refused. They plan to reduce the population of the Toothfish in the Ross Sea by 50% in the next few years, yet they have no idea what the actual population number is. Lots of research has been done on these fish and we do know that some of these fish can get as old as 40 years old and these are some of the fish they are taking out of the ocean. I know that some people might say that we should be fishing there because we can make money there. However, the Toothfish is also prey to the Weddell seals and to a specific type of Orca (killer whale). The Weddell seals only live here and these Orcas come here in the Antarctic summer to feed on Toothfish as well. If the Toothfish disappears, we may very well lose the Weddell seals and the Orcas as well. I know that was a very long piece and that I normally try to keep it to just a paragraph or two, but people need to know what is going on down here. Here are some pictures of this amazing fish. I think that it looks prehistoric...and incredible!</div>

However, when I did finally wake up, I felt great! Today was the Grantee Social in the Crary library. A grantee is someone who is associated with a science group. And grantees are also known as "Beakers" around station, so everyone just calls this the "Beaker Ball." At the Beaker Ball, there was liquid nitrogen ice cream! It was pretty fun to see them making up the liquid cream and then pouring liquid nitrogen onto it and having it solidify and then eating it!!!<br />

After ice cream, the greatest band in the whole world came on stage to play a concert for us...Condition Fun! Sandwich is the lead singer (and also plays the tuba). Sandwich was our field tech last year and there is no way that I could have done all the research that I did without her. Period. She is the reason I was actually able to finish up all of my work. She is an incredibly hard worker. This year, she is working for Dr. Sean Place and is working even harder. But she still manages to find time to write silly songs about McMurdo and the strange vehicles that we have down here. What a great night!</div>

I went out with 4 other people today to Cape Evans wall. The weather was pretty crazy and the wind was blowing quite a bit, but we still had a great time out there. I don't know why, but it took almost twice as long to drill holes today. We were drilling for almost two hours before we punched through the six feet of ice. And when we finally did, I was exhausted!<br />

As we were about to wrap things up, I just had to do a little bit of fishing...and since I had been the guide all day, I decided to make my one fish that I caught count! I put on the Pooh Bear costume, set my trophy on the ice, grabbed my trusty Barbie fishing pole and went after it! Of course, since it is so easy to catch fish down here, it did not take much time at all for me to catch a nice big one!</div>

The first thing that I did was have a video conference with students from back home. Our biology student group has been hosting a "Better know a lab group" lecture series so that students on campus can get to know what different research groups are doing. I did our lab groups talk from my lab which was pretty fun. I talked about our research, where our fishing sites are and some things about life down here in McMurdo. I also showed the group some fish as well. Then, my friend Kim who works on seals also jumped in a gave a little talk about her research as well. It went really well and everyone at home had ice cream during the talk! Here are Kim and I talking to the group back home.<br />

Next, it was off to Cape Royds. We took snowmobiles out because it is almost a 40 mile drive. It took us about 2 hours to get there. I had never fished there before and we were interested in seeing if it was any different that out normal fishing sites. </div>

Then it was time to fish! We didn't have much luck fishing at Cape Royds. We had a lot of nibbles and bites but didn't catch many. One thought we had is that because all of the fish we caught there were so tiny, maybe the hook and bait were too big to even fit in their mouths! It certainly looked that way with the few fish we caught.</div>

When we were done fishing, we went to check out Shackleton's hut. The New Zealand historical society has kept these huts in such amazing condition over the years. We have to clean our pants and boots off and can't touch anything, but we can take a lot of pictures. One thing that is so incredible to think about is that even after over 100 years, the food in the jars etc is still the same. The temperature rarely gets warm enough for things to melt and there are not bacteria etc to cause things to rot, so everything just stays as it was!</div>

I worked on my thesis for most of the day and it is almost done! YAY! Then, after dinner, my friend Claire and I went on a short hike up Ob Hill (short for Observation Hill). It is one of my most favorite places here in McMurdo. It is a pretty short hike, but you can get such a great view of the Ross Sea, Mt. Erebus, Scott Base (the New Zealand base) and of course, McMurdo. I just had to bring my futsal trophy on the hike so I could get pictures with it up there. Here are some photos from my hike! Spoiler alert...Hero shots!<br />

So that meant another amazing day of fishing! The wind was blowing like crazy and we tried as hard as we could to prevent the fish from snap freezing in the air. They can die from the extreme cold just from being transferred from the fishing hole to our coolers! Also, we were catching a lot of <i>Trematomus newnesi</i> on Thursday. This species is the least tolerant of temperature fluctuations out of any that we catch so we wanted to be extra careful. We brought out two people from town again. Morgan and Mat. Here we all are fishing, with our backs to the crazy wind.<br />

We stopped fishing pretty quickly since we had caught 24 fish in 30 minutes! We were pretty stoked so I did some hand stands to celebrate and Morgan and I did some cartwheels as well. Mt. Erebus makes a great background for amateur gymnastics on the sea ice in Antarctica!</div>

We had an awesome day fishing. And when were were all done, Morgan had a great time checking out the touch tank in Crary. She really liked the sea spiders but was pretty hesitant to touch the giant isopod. She said it looked like a giant cockroach (which it totally does). She was a trooper and did it anyway. While today was super cold and incredibly windy, we caught a lot of fish in a very short amount of time. And like I've said before, any day you are out fishing, it is a great day!</div>

But while most of the people in town were getting updates, I was out fishing all day! I took out a firefighter, a Chaplin and a map maker! Jimmy, Jake and Claire were all rock stars when it came to drilling holes in the ice so I just had to show some great shots of that.<div>

When we got home, I did finally find out the news about the election. It was actually really great to be so far away from technology for the whole day so I didn't really have to stress about anything at all! I came home and was very excited to learn the news. Still feeling an overwhelming sense of pride and joy to be from Minnesota and from the United States of America. I always say that no matter how many fish you catch, any day that you spend fishing is a good day. We went fishing, caught fish and came home to some great news. It really was a great day. What did I do to celebrate? Played dodgeball! What else would you think I would do in Antarctica on a random Wednesday night?!?!?! </div>

We took off towards Cape Evans Wall today. One thing that we got to see (which is so impressive to see in real life) was some really phenomenal fata morgana. That is a mirage or optical illusion that happens when there are two layers of air that are at different temperatures. As light travels from one temp to another, the light gets bent in an extreme angle and creates incredible mirages that look like huge cliffs! The coolest thing about fata morgana is that is actually shows up in pictures! Everything you see to the left of the large black island that looks really flat and dark is a mirage!<br />

Because the weather was so amazing, we stopped to take some really great pictures of Mt. Erebus. We can always tell the weather by looking at the smoke coming out of Mt. Erebus. Today, there was no wind at all so the smoke was going straight up!</div>

So I decided to post a cool video of the two seals breathing and resting in the dive hut. They have been using the hole as a breathing hole for a while now. Anyway, you can see and hear the two of them breathing at different times. Near the end of the video, the seal on the left will dive back down to look for some more food while the seal on the right stays in the hole to breathe some more. It was pretty cool to see them just hanging out there, and I have never seen more than one seal in a hole like this so that was really exciting for me! Hope you enjoy.<br />

Well, today was quite a fun day. I went out with B-232 again today to help them recover another tag on seal. But first, they had to deploy and instrument in to the water to do some water sampling. When we got to the hut, there was a seal hanging out in the hole! </div>

I was pretty surprised since I haven't seen a seal in any of our fish huts yet this season! Also, you might be able to notice that my face looks really shiny. That is because it was so so windy. I put Vaseline on my skin so that I don't get wind burn or frost bite. Even though it looks super funny, it works really well!<br />

At times both during and after deploying the instrument, there were two seals trying to share the hole. Most of the time they seemed to get along, however, they did push each other around a bit to get better positions every once in a while.</div>

Next, it was time to go collect the tag on the seal. We found the seal in some pressure ridges. These happen when the sea ice bulges and cracks. They can be incredibly beautiful. </div>

Finally, I figured that since there aren't any Polar Bears in Antarctica, these Weddell seals needed to at least see one bear in their lifetimes...so they got to meet Pooh Bear! I was pretty impressed. The first time I saw a bear in the wild, I was pretty scared. These seals didn't seem the least bit worried at all!</div>

What a relief! We are all done with our hepatocyte heat shock experiments! We finished today at 11:30. It felt like a lot of work...and it was. We were all exhausted! We took a short trip out to a fish hut to pull up our fish hut. We were doubtful that we would have anything in our trap but we checked anyway. As expected, there was nothing. However, ice had formed around the rope connected to the trap and that looked pretty cool!<br />

Finally, here is a shot looking down the hall in the Crary lab. It is just a sea of Big Red's, orange bags, bunny boots and wind bibs hanging on hooks etc all the way down the hall! It reminds me of elementary school when we had to hang our jackets and winter boots in the hallways!</div>

We started off by running more experiments. Because we started running them so early on and have been running them all day, every day for a while now, we are coming close to the end of the laboratory portion of our trip. That really does feel good. Especially since last year I was running experiments three days before I flew home! It will feel amazing to finish up by the end of this week so that we can focus on some more days of fishing to wrap up our population studies at our study sites. That being said, I don't have any pictures from today. However, I do have some fun pictures of other interesting things that have happened while I've been down here.<br />

This first picture is something kind of funny because it wasn't something that I even thought about when I first came down last year. It is one of the fire engines that we have on station. We have an actual fire station with a few (2-3) fire engines. The fire fighters on station usually don't have to do much except respond to the occasional dryer or popcorn vs microwave incident. However, they are always ready at the airfields in case of an emergency with the flights. So here is a picture of one of McMurdo's fire engines!<br />

The next two shots are just incredible views that I see every day that it is nice out. The first is looking forward as I cross the foot bridge guarded by the metal troll. From here, I can see Mt. Discovery and some of the Royal Society mountain range to the right. The second picture is taken as I look to my left. This is one of my favorite places, Observation hill (Ob hill for short). I haven't been up it this year, but I know that it will be happening soon.<br />

Finally, one of the funny things about McMurdo is that you can tell what the weather is like without even looking out of a widow. If it is nice out, the helicopters are flying...and you can always hear them! They have to sling-load a lot of gear and supplies etc to and from field camps throughout the season and it is always an incredible site to see when they are sling-loading supplies. Here is a great shot of a helo with a sling-load as it is arriving back to town. Well, that's all for now!<br />

Happy Halloween for real! WOW! Today was an incredible day. We ended up not doing lab work, however, I got invited to help out with a seal physiology team (B-232). It was a beautiful day, and we started working shortly after breakfast. Last January, this team attached data loggers to the seals backs and heads. They recorded data for almost a year and every time the seals were out of the water, the data loggers transmitted their information via satellite. Here is Kim searching for one of their seals this morning. She was listening for a signal that the transmitter would send out on a frequency specific to that transmitter.</div>

We couldn't get a very good read on the signal she was trying to locate, so then it was off to just look at every seal that we could and try to find the one that had the transmitter on it! Here is all of B-232 riding toward Mt. Erebus.<br />

Darren and Jess then demonstrated for me how they place a flipper tag on each of the seals flippers. They need to tag and weigh every seal that is born in the entire area. Just yesterday they did over 90 seals and they will be working through the middle of December! Here is one big seal that I walked by on my way to watch a seal get tagged and weighted. </div>

And here is the little pup they tagged with it's mother. Isn't it just adorable!? Just in case you are wondering, the red and brown stains on the ice are from blood and poop. The seals give birth on the ice and usually don't move very far from when they have given birth for a while. Even for several days or weeks, you might find the same mama and her pup in the same spot. So in case you were wondering, that is why the snow doesn't look its pristine white and brilliant blue all the time. Also, it does stink a little bit because there are so many seals all doing the same thing in very close quarters. </div>

After they were done, I took some really cool pictures of the pressure ridges. As the ice moves, it pushes up on itself (kind of like how an earth quake happens with the tectonic plates pushing on each other). It takes on some really beautiful forms. </div>

Here you can see a crack and at the end of it, a hole. The seals can keep these holes open with their teeth all winter so they can breathe and climb out of the ocean when they want to. </div>

But the part that made today just incredible was at the very end. There were a few mama seals with their pups near by where the team was working. I was able to get some incredible shots of this baby seal pup. It was so cute! It was sleeping when I first approached it, then it started stretching out as it woke up. Once it saw me, it was very interested in me and really didn't want to take its eyes off of me. Mama didn't seem to mind at all...which was good for me considering female seals can weigh over 1,200 pounds! </div>

I have realized that keeping this blog and making sure that I have a post about every day helps me to remember how lucky I am to be down here. And while this is my second season so things aren't as new for me, there are a ton of people who will will never make it down here so I try to keep that mindset every day. So with that long intro, here is what happened on Tuesday!<br />
<br />
First thing I noticed when I went to breakfast today was a sea of bright yellow jackets and pants. You can always tell when the Australian research teams are coming through McMurdo because their gear is so bright, you need to wear sunglasses inside!<br />

The next interesting thing that I saw was a metal troll guarding the foot bridge from the galley to the Crary science building. I saw it last year and thought it was so funny! It must have been an art project done by someone very talented who was really bored during a winter season!</div>

Next, I wanted to show you a centrifuge that we use during part of our experiment. We need to spin our samples down to isolate the cells from the rest of the extracellular tissue. However, this has to be done at -2 C so that the cells are "happy." To do this, we have to chill the centrifuge before we use it. Here is one part of it hanging out in a refrigerator :) and then me loading it and securing it down.</div>

Later (after I worked out), there was a surprise birthday party for my roommate, Ross. His team is working on how bromine leaves the ocean and gets into the atmosphere and causes ozone depletion. They collect blowing snow in baskets. One of their sites is right next to an ice berg. So naturally, we got to have some ice from the ice berg :) The coolest part about this ice is that there are gas bubbles frozen in them and they crackle like Rice Crispies when the ice melts in your drink! Here is Ross with his!</div>

However, I do have a couple of really great pictures of a seal that came up on the ice really close to where we were fishing last week. And also a short little video. In the video, you can hear it breathing. Seals can dive to almost 1000 meters and can be under water for up to 45 minutes! Before they dive, to prevent themselves from getting the "bends" like human scuba divers, they take a lot of deep breaths. Then right before they dive, they exhale all of their air out of their lungs to prevent them from being damaged/collapsing from the pressure of the deep ocean.<br />
<br />
You might notice a little blood on the seal's chest. That is from it climbing out of the ice. They have to open holes in the ice using their teeth and the edges of their holes are not very smooth. Sometimes they get cut and you it is not uncommon to see a seal a little bloody. However, they don't seem to mind much at all. You should also be able to hear the seal breathing out in the video. The wind was blowing quite a bit so you will have to watch the seal's nostrils open and close and listen for the sound of it exhaling. I hope you enjoy, I sure did!<br />

SCIENCE NEVER SLEEPS! Brad and I started two experiments simultaneously early in the morning while Marissa selflessly volunteered to take all of the afternoon, evening and night time points. While tubes floating in water are exciting as a scientist, they are not very exciting to look at in pictures. So I decided to post some non-science related pictures today.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
It was an absolutely beautiful day today and I took this panoramic shot from the Science Support Center. If you look really close, on the left side of the third building from the left, you can see Mt. Discovery. I will post better pictures of it soon.<br />

This next picture is something that makes me laugh every time that I see it. It is a Pisten Bully with a slab of wood that says "Student Driver" on the back. I remember driving this one last year during my PB training. It looks normal here, but I can just imagine the look on people's faces if you were driving this during your driver's education class back home!<br />

This vehicle looks a little more "normal", however, take a look at the tracks instead of wheels! These would be amazing for places like North Dakota and Minnesota in the winter!<br />

Finally, every Sunday (and Wednesday), one science group from McMurdo gives a short lecture about their project to help people know what kinds of things are going on down here. My roommate and his advisor gave their talk about bromine and how it leaves the ocean and goes up into the atmosphere and leads to ozone depletion. It was a packed house! And while it wasn't an exciting day as far as pictures go, it was still a great day.<br />

Well, not technically on the right day, but since everyone here at McMurdo has to work from 7:30 am - 5:30 pm, Monday - Saturday...the Halloween party needs to fall on a Saturday so that people can stay up late and have fun! There are some very creative people on station and I saw some great costumes. This year, I went to gear issue and checked out a Winnie the Pooh costume. It was so hot to wear inside, but so funny!<div>

I was up really late working on yesterdays experiment and got up really early to get today's experiment started. Needless to say, I don't have any new photos to post. However, I do have some cool pictures of our fish in the tank and of the touch tank in the Crary lab.<br />
<br />
Our fish after we returned from fishing on Wednesday, October 17.<br />

And here are some pictures of animals in the touch tank. You can see a sea cucumber, a bright yellow sea star, some orange-colored coral, a sea urchin and some other animals that I don't know the names of! While I didn't get any pictures today, I'm feeling good with my progress in getting our experiments started as we approach the half way point of our field season.<br />
