Investigating the impacts of ocean acidification in the Southern Ocean - Antarctic Cruise | Page 77

Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen, once I’ ve finished my experiments for the day I have to wash lots and lots of bottles and other equipment and let it all dry to be ready for the next experiment. I may work pretty long hours in a small room but there are compensations: I generally have time in the afternoon to go out on deck( weather permitting) and see what the ocean has to offer. It is often dotted with pack ice and icebergs, albatrosses and petrels flying around in the sky and penguins, seals and the occasional whale swimming about in search of food. All in all, I think studying nitrogen cycling on the RRS James Clark Ross in the Antarctic is a pretty good place to spend one’ s birthday.
