| Tracy Arm Fjord - where we've been monitoring a coral site for two years. This was the last funded cruise, so a little sad about that. |
 |
| Our sample site. 4000ft up, and 1000ft down. There be corals there! |

 |
| Our 'larger' research vessel. Luckily only 3 of us and two crew. |
 |
| Sailing into Tracy Arm Fjord. Just beautiful! |
 |
| See my fins? |
 |
| Taking a break by the wall. There's 1000ft of water below me! |
 |
| Tracy Arm Fjord. |
 |
| Bob and I, the only two divers, getting ready to go! We did 14 dives in 5 days - not bad and slightly exhausting! Water temp was just above freezing, at 36F. |
 |
| The scale of the mountain is out of this world! |
 |
| A 7.5 earthquake came through while we were in the field. Being on water, we didn't feel it, but the glacier did, and sent down lots of ice that morning. |
 |
| Looking out over our sample site. |
 |
| The ice edge - just a few miles up from where we were working. |
 |
| My student Julia and myself. |
 |
| Serious science! |
 |
| This large glacier floated into our sample site one day. |
 |
| So we decided to board it! |
 |
| And then throw snowballs at the skiff. |
 |
| Beautiful crisp alaskan day! |
 |
| There are divers in this photo! |
