Currently Mary Anne Pella-Donnelly, a junior high school teacher from Chico California is with the Greenland team. She is communicatiing with the world with a satellite link. See the Polartrec website for more photos of their expedition and to read Mary Anne’s journal. We are making the same measurements as they are so we will be able to compare the little auks at the two sites. They are in the middle of setting out Time Depth Recorders (TDRs) just as we are. We will be able to compare how often and how deep the birds at Hornsund Fjord, Spitsbergen dive compared to the Kap Hoegh, Greenland birds. It’s so great to have the internet connection with the Greenland team!
