On Thursday I start traveling to the Falkland Islands to meet up with the
RRS James Clark Ross! I'll be away about a month and start traveling Thursday evening. My first stop out of Atlanta is Santiago, Chile, where I'll hopefully arrive Friday morning. I have a day in Santiago and then I catch a flight Saturday morning to the Falkland Islands.

Unfortunately, I don't have much time to explore the Falklands this trip, but here's a post from the last
time. The ship departs from Mare Harbour Sunday, October 23rd. Last time we left from Stanley, so I'm looking forward to a new departure spot.

I'll be teaming up with the British Antarctic Survey for another benthic sampling trip. This time we're headed to South Georgia in the sub-Antarctic chain of islands. Stay tuned for posts about our trip! Lots of science, cool animals, and fun excursions to come...
Lex,
