Yesterday we crossed the Arctic Circle!!
As you may have spotted in the photo above...I wore my Polar Bear PJ's as an omen for us to see polar bears this trip. Fingers crossed.
Tomorrow we will be collecting the remaining science crew in Tromso and then heading straight to our first site for a bit of pelagic and benthic sampling! I am very excited about this trip. It also really hit me yesterday about how many miles and the amount of time I have spent on a boat in order to cross the Antarctic Circle, the equator and now the Arctic circle within 3 month- crazy and extremely lucky!
