The Expedition to Chile - 2004!

 

In this, our fourth year of the expedition, we conducted a number of experiments with the aquatic animals

 

Upon arriving, we had to build some walls to block the tremendous Patagonian wind...

Next, we had to go collect some animals from the nearby ponds and marshes...

...and then conduct some experiments.

Then Christine and Rick took a trip out to survey the very salty Laguna Amarga

Always lots of guanacos to look at...

...and plenty of beautiful scenery

Warm days melt the glaciers and bring the flooding...

 Some good dinners...
