there's something about just being in
the environment and seeing the region
you're sampling that's really
mesmerizing in a way you can discuss
with other scientists in real time at se
what the observations mean and I think
you have more of a rapport with the data
that you collect as a scientist when you
actually see where it's coming from and
how it's
collected if you're not in the field
making the measurements you're not
actually seeing what the real ocean is
really doing when you go through the
effort to uh put an instrument into the
water and get it out and saw the
struggle that went into it you when you
go home have a different relationship to
that
data you can't just walk on a ship and
uh expect you everything's just like
being on land cuz it's not at all the
difference from working ashore is that
it's an everchanging weather environment
you think you're all safe but if the
ship sinks you're not so safe anymore
there's always that underlying Risk
Everything is is different than how you
might do it elsewhere just trying to
make things work with what you have so
it's a funny pace of always being busy
but it's also a fun opportunity to
really get to know all the people you're
on the ship with you have all your meals
together you work 16 hours a day
together you share bunk rooms because it
is just a totally different pace in
everyday life I like how Beyond sort of
everyday experience these places look
this place for examp example it's
covered in small glaciers there are no
trees it's all rock there are all these
amazing places around the world that you
don't get to see very
often the most immediate thing you feel
is sort of the Simplicity and sort of
isolation like you're in your own little
world exploring things which is I think
really fun you only have pretty clear
tasks during the I me you get up you eat
you figure out where you're going to
sample you sample you eat again you know
it's like pretty straightforward what
you're is like you feel sort of quiet
that you don't feel other places I
think
