<span class="_ezo" id="u_jsonp_50_5" style="color: #f1765e; font-weight: 600;">Congratulations</span> to Anastasia, Akira, Vivian, Martin, Elaine,
Hugh, Takeaki and Hiroshi for the paper on Schizocladia ischiensis from
a coralligenous community off the island of Rhodes! This alga, reported
here only for the 2nd time ever in the world, belongs to a poorly-known
sister group of the brown algae, the Schizocladiophyceae (Ochrophyta).
The study is founded upon the NFSD expedition in October-November 2015,
and would not have happened without Akira's skillful and tireless algal
isolation work from the samples collected during this endeavor. Anastasia
and Akira subsequently did DNA barcode sequencing of this and other
isolates in our lab, which revealed the uniqueness of this material and
enabled further studies.<br />

I am in mid-air above the sunlit tropical Atlantic, on the
way to Lima, Peru! I am on the way to meet one of my PhD students, Lynn Wilbur
from Sitka, Alaska, whom I inherited because her original supervisor left
Aberdeen. This is the reason why the department transferred her to me – and the
reason why the University is paying for the whole trip. She is working on
intertidal ecology in the south of Peru and how that is impacted by El Ni<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">ñ</span>o.
Afterwards, I will visit a former Ecuadorian MSc student of mine, Gabriela
Vinueza Hidalgo, who is now manager of a research station, Tiputini, which is a
shared facility between Boston University (USA) and the major Ecuadorian
university, in the middle of nowhere in the western Amazon. Life is interesting
for sure!</div>

The aircraft is now above the Brazilian Amazon SW of Boa
Vista, and the high energy of air masses rising above the rainforest can
clearly be felt in the turbulences that we are flying through. Clouds here in
the tropical rainforest belt reach much higher up into the atmosphere than
elsewhere on the planet – in fact they almost reach the height of our flight
path at 40,000 ft! About an hour ago, I got spectacular views of the coast of
Guyana west of Georgetown and the estuary of River Essequibo. </div>

I landed at Lima International Airport, where a cab driver
(whom Lynn had ordered) waited for me and took me to the hostel where we
were staying. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After sleeping only 2 h
the night before, I was glad to have my room and bed and a full night’s sleep.
We were staying in Miraflores, a pleasant part of Lima. After working on a
paper and e-mail in the morning, we went out for last shopping and changing
currency before going into the field, then headed back to our hostel and
relaxed a bit. We then took a cab to the nearby bus station, where we are now
waiting for our overnight coach trip to San Juan de Marcona (usually just called "Marcona") in Peru’s South. </div>

We left Lima at shortly after 9 pm by long-distance coach.
In the absence of a railway network, comfortable long-distance coaches are a
good way to travel around Peru. Despite the constant shaking, I had a large,
reclining seat which was quite comfortable, and I managed to sleep for most of
the trip. We reached Marcona around 5 am after an about 8 h trip, where we were
picked up by Marco, manager of the Reserva de la Punta San Juan, which was an
approx. 10 min drive from the town center. Even though it was dark, I already
got some key impressions of the place as we disembarked the pickup truck: the
dryness of the area, the shouting of numerous fur seals and the pungent smell
of guano, which had been one of the reasons why the first western settlements
were established on this coast in the 19<sup>th</sup> century. As we approached
the building of the reserve which was to be our home for the next week, a large
coyote crossed our path – probably preying upon seabirds.<br />
<br />
After sleeping a few more hours, a lovely breakfast prepared
by Jasmin and Daniel, who both work at the reserve, awaited us (including a
large bowl of guacamole). Daniel, Lynn and I then went on a hike around the
reserve to familiarize myself with her study sites. It struck me how dry this
area is: In fact, this is the northern part of the Atacama Desert (most of
which is in Chile), which is considered (together with the Namib) the driest
desert in the world: Not a single green leaf could be seen, anywhere, and not
even dry plants of any sort! The reserve has large colonies of South American
fur seals (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Arctocephalus australis</i>),
Guanay cormorants (<i><span class="LrzXr kno-fv">Leucocarbo bougainvillii</span></i>)
and Humboldt penguins (<i><span class="st">Spheniscus humboldti</span></i>). The
latter two are the bird species which have built the large guano deposits. Even
though these animals are close relatives of those which are common and which I
had often seen in the Falkland Islands and Tierra del Fuego, they are very shy
in this part of the world and did not tolerate us coming very close: This is
probably testimony to human pressure, possibly hunting, which has left a mark
on their behaviour avoiding human interaction. Descending to the shore, we
walked through large, 10- 20 cm deep deposits of feathers and bird residues,
among an intense smell of guano. The water is very clear, with floating patches
of kelp (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Macrocystis pyrifera </i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>- albeit with a slightly different morphology
than elsewhere, with smooth blades - and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lessonia</i>
sp.). </div>

I am writing these lines during the lunch break on what
would have been BREXIT Day – for 2 years, since March 29, 2017, Theresa May,
Prime Minister of the UK, had announced “The UK will leave the EU on 29 March
2019”. I have just read the BBC News, thanks to Fernando allowing me to use
internet via his smartphone hotspot for a few minutes, and May’s “deal” has
failed again to secure a majority in the House of Commons. I am delighted,
because this means now a long delay to BREXIT, and quite possibly, no BREXIT at
all.</div>

This has been a good 4 ½ days in Punta San Juan. The
research station and reserve’s guard house are a former guanera, the building
of a guano mine, overlooking several seabird cliffs, whitened by sun-baked
guano. Working days started at sunrise, with Lynn doing intertidal work on
mussel beds and associated communities, accompanied either by Daniel or myself.
In the afternoon, we would go snorkeling, for surveying seaweed communities
and associated invertebrates. We typically encountered numerous fur seals in
the water, who were very inquisitive and playful and seemed to approach me more
than the others in the team…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the
evenings, we would work on the materials collected, preparing herbarium
specimens and subsamples for DNA extraction. Usually we would also go to the
office of the Reserva Punta San Juan for connecting to the internet (since the
field station has neither internet, landline telephone, nor mains water and
electricity). We were well fed by Daniel, Jasmin, Carmen and Marco, who
lovingly cooked for us twice a day.</div>

I am once more in mid-air, today between Lima and Quito,
Ecuador. The time in Marcona came to an end 4 days ago. The Punta San Juan is a
magic place indeed. Living a week in this beautiful coastal desert wilderness
was very special and, what is important in the bigger picture, Lynn managed to
complete the intertidal surveys and get enough data to complete the write-up of
her PhD. A special moment for me was giving a talk about my diving expeditions
around the world, exploring marine biodiversity, to the scientists and students
at Punta San Juan. The electricity for the projector came from a
gasoline-powered generator, and as background music for my talk, one could hear
the waves of the Pacific breaking on the rocks beneath the guanera… </div>

The last day, Sunday, we visited another very interesting
site, Playa Huecos, where Fernando, myself, two students, one local fisherman and I went
snorkeling. Large amounts of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Macrocystis
pyrifera</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lessonia trabeculata</i>
were spread out on the shore, drying in the sun prior to be sold off to
industry for alginate extraction. </div>

We <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">returned to Lima over night on the express bus – rather tiring
this time, since I was sound blasted with the unsolicited soundtrack of a movie
by a loudspeaker above me for the first 2 h. </span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Back to Lima, we spent a day visiting Universidad Cayetona
Heredia, and another day sightseeing in the historic city center – the Plaza de
Armas with the Palacio del Gobierno, Cathedral and Archbishop’s Palace. The
Cathedral contains the grave of Conquistador Francisco Pizarro – I found it
weird how revered he is, having recklessly destroyed the Inka culture and
empire, and leaving Peru’s First Nation inhabitants in centuries of foreign
domination. The nearby monastery of </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Basílica y Convento de San Francisco </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">(</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Saint Francis

tiles, frescoes, carved woodwork, and the catacombs.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">These have been a very eventful 2 days since I wrote the last
episode! A smooth flight took me from Lima to Quito, Ecuador’s high-altitude
capital. I stayed in a lovely guest house in the countryside near the airport,
which also made my departure the next morning easy. Coming from the heat of
Lima, the mountain air felt refreshing!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Yesterday morning, I boarded a flight from Lima to Coca, a small
town in Ecuador’s western Amazon and gateway to this region. I was picked up by
Javier, a staff member of the Tiputini Biodiversity Station (TBS), which is
managed by my former student Gabriela Viñueza Hidalgo (who had done her MSc
with me and Rainer Ebel in Aberdeen back in 2013). Together with a group of
Ecuadorian students from the Universidad San Francisco de Quito and two
Colombian scientists, we boarded a long, slender river boat which took us ca. 2
hours downstream on the Rio Napo, until we reached an oil field of Spanish oil
giant REPSOL which, conveniently, has a pier and logistics facility on the
river. It struck me that we had to go through what looked like an
immigration-style passport / ID check and security control with all our
belongings being X-rayed and us having to walk through a metal detector gate – the
“authority” was not the Ecuadorian or some regional government, but REPSOL. There,
we were greeted by the TBS Manager and my former MSc student, Gabriela Viñueza
Hidalgo, and we transferred onto a pickup truck for the scientists and an open
bus for the students, and drove ca. 3 ½ h westwards on a dirt road built by
REPSOL in parallel to an oil pipeline, which runs all the way from the Amazon
across the Andes to the Pacific. On the way, we could see several settlements
of the native </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Huaorani</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">, who
traditionally were nomads in this area but who have adopted a more settled life
style in villages. We stopped in one such village and bought a few artefacts
made from rainforest plants. Even from the road, one could clearly tell that a
more settled lifestyle of the population impacts the rainforest with numerous
clearings, fewer old-growth trees and an overall reduced diversity – even if
overall the area looks very green and forested! All this, even though we were
within the boundaries of Yasuní National Park. We finally reached a research
station of Ecuador’s other major university, </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span class="st">Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador</span>, where we
once more transferred onto a long river boat, and now drove down the Rio
Tiputini. This second boat ride took another 2 hours! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">This area seemed pristine, with no further sign of human presence:
No further roads, clearings, settlements, powerlines, no more oil pipelines…
only sporadically a floating plastic bottle, likely being carried downstream
from one of the settlements.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">We finally reached Tiputini Biodiversity Station, in a scenic
location in a bend of the Rio Tiputini. Considering the extreme remoteness, but
also the environmental sensitivity of this area, this facility is amazing: A
pier with a vista platform overlooking the river bend, a lab, administration
and library building (where I am writing these lines), a separate dining area
in a pavilion which is open at the sides, and further accommodation outhouses
one of which is my own for the duration of my stay here. All this is maintained
in a very neat, tidy state. Only organic waste remains in Tiputini, everything
else is returned to civilization for proper disposal. Amazingly, the
Library/Admin/Lab building has internet via satellite, to which visitors can
connect by WiFi. Of course the speed is lower than broadband DSL in a city –
but it’s still amazing, considering that this place is in the middle of the
Amazon! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">After a long day, I retreated to my cottage. Electricity went off
a few minutes later, which means that I had candles and my dive LED light. The
sound of the rainforest at night is even more intense at night than at day time
– especially the countless insects like cicadas, occasionally with the song or
cry of a bird, or a screaming monkey. At first I thought, how would I sleep
with such loud noise and in this heat, but I rapidly fell asleep and had an
excellent, uninterrupted sleep until just before sunrise when other noises
started appearing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Every day at TBS follows a regular pattern – breakfast at 6 am, lunch
at 12 pm, and dinner at 7 pm. Electricity is provided by generator twice per
day, from 10 am – 12.30 pm, and from 6 – 9.30 pm (which is enough for charging
camera batteries etc). In between, people go about their research and studies
in the rainforest.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I woke up by myself at about 5.30 am, when dawn together with a
change in the sound of the forest woke me up. After breakfast, Gaby, two
Colombian scientists and I headed into the jungle to familiarize ourselves with
the local biodiversity - which was my first-ever exposure to the Amazon Rainforest ecosystem. The biodiversity was overwhelmingly impressive. It is difficult to find words!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">After a sumptuous lunch and a good siesta, we headed out again –
this time by boat up the river. On the way, we found a turtle in the water,
which we took onto the boat, where Gaby liberated it of about 10 ticks. We
landed about a kilometre upstream, secured the boat, and then hiked to a lake,
which is connected with the Rio Tiputini only when there is high water in the
latter. We used a canoe to explore the lake further, which featured …<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I spent some more time at the vista point
above the TBS pier, trying to spot a river dolphin which according to Gaby are
common in the area, but to no avail. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">After dinner, José, a TBS staff member, took me on yet another
hike in the forest. I had to realize that with diving at day- or night time,
there is a huge difference in the animals that you get to see.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Besides an armadillo, we saw numerous frogs and toads, including a
beautifully coloured poison dart frog, a highly venomous coral snake, and two
large tarantulas. Some of the creatures from the worst of your nightmares!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
To the arachnophobes among my friends: You can sleep well because I can
confirm that the tarantulas of your worst nightmares are not under your pillow
or blanket, but here in the Amazon rainforest around Rio Tiputini! Instead of
going to bed, I had a fascinating nighttime hike in the jungle with Jose, a
staff member of Tiputini Biodiversity Station, to whom I owe very special
thanks for this incredible experience. Besides two giant tarantulas, we came
across many other intere<span class="textexposedshow">sting critters including a
poison dart frog, a highly venomous coral snake, many other amphibians,
spiders, and an armadillo. In light of these many poisonous and biting animals
here, </span>Vivian<span class="textexposedshow"> would certainly say again, "Nα προσέχεις γαμώ το κερατό
σου, να μην γίνεις μεζεδάκι! Κάποτε θα σε φάνε λάχανο!"</span><br />
This was the conclusion of a spectacular day, which started just before 6 am
and included several hikes in the jungle, a ride in a boat on the Rio Tiputini
and in a kayak on a nearby lake in the rainforest. I encountered numerous
monkeys, birds, lizards, frogs, insects, spiders, turtles... <br />

This is my 3rd and last night in Tiputini, which follows another exciting
day here. This Sunday started with a boat excursion to the Saladero, a cliff
with high salt and mineral content, where many wild animals come to enhance
their mineral nutrition. We saw over a hundred parrots gathering there - and on
the way back, a large Amazon tapir c<span class="textexposedshow">rossed the path
of our boat!</span><br />

In the afternoon, Gaby and Diego showed me a canopy tower, 45 m / 150 ft
high, which allows accessing a platform in a towering, very old tree. The steel
tower itself is built by TBS, but it is host to a CO2 flux monitoring station
developed and funded by the US Forest Service, which will soon go online – the
only such facility in all of Ecuador (there are less than a handful in all of
Brazil, one in Colombia and one in Peru)! Measurements from such facilities are
obviously very important to determine the effectiveness of different forest
types as carbon sinks.<br />

I am leaving this magic place tomorrow morning by boat, then again on the
dirt road until the REPSOL terminal, and then another almost 2 hr boat ride
until we will reach Coca. From there, a TAME flight will take me back to
civilization, to Quito, in the evening.<br />

In the evening, Diego Mosquera gave a very interesting talk in the TBS library about his research with camera traps in the surroundings of TBS. These amazing and now relatively affordable devices have been able to confirm the presence of 5 species of
cats including jaguars and ocelots and other megafauna in the area - animals which are otherwise very hard to see by humans.</div>

It struck me that the<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> night sky in the east </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">was red </span>– which is due to large gas flares of recently-started oil wells of the Yasuni-ITT project. This does not only damage the rainforest, flaring of "stranded" natural gas (because of lack of suitable infrastructure to transport it out of the area, unlike the oil also releases very significant amounts of greenhouse gases. Globally, the greenhouse gas emissions from such flaring is of a comparable order of magnitude as that of global aviation - but the public takes very little notice of this problem.</span></div>

of Quito where I had already stayed last Thursday. But I am already missing the
pristine rainforest in Tiputini. I woke up this morning, again about half an
hour before sunrise at 5.30 pm, when the forest concert changed to different
musicians and tunes – from the cicadas, frogs and monkeys of the night to numerous birds closer to sunrise. After a quick breakfast, it was sadly time to leave. We boarded again the canoe, traveled up the Rio Tiputini, then transferred onto vehicles, and drove </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">on the Maxus Road to the Rio Napo, and then on another canoe up the river to Francisco de Orellana.

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I am once more writing in mid-air – in the skies above Colombia,
flying back to Amsterdam – tomorrow early afternoon I will land there. I spent
my last day in Ecuador visiting its capital – the volcano Pichincha, which can be
reached by cable car, and then the historic city center. From the upper cable car station on Mt. Pichincha, I hiked for about 2 h at around 4,000 m altitude. I clearly felt the effects of the thin air on my physiology! In the later afternoon, Esteban (a member of the family owning the guest house in Tababela), showed me downtown Quito </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">with many picturesque, colonial historic buildings </span>on foot.

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">This trip was another highlight, it has taken me to two countries which I had not visited before, Peru and Ecuador, and, especially, to the Amazon Rainforest. I feel incredibly lucky and privileged being able to do things like this - and I would like to thank the wonderful people who have enabled me to have this experience: Lynn, Jasmin, Susana, Bruno and Marco in Peru, and Gabi, Diego, and Cecil in Ecuador. </span><br />

<b><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Epilogue</span></b><br />
Especially the impressions of my trip to the Amazon have to be seen in the wider socio-economic context of Ecuador. The Huaorani Indians, whom I met in the Yasuni area, had violently resisted outside contact until the late 1950s, culminating in the events of Operation Auca during which 5 American missionaries, attempting to make contact, were speared to death on the banks of the Rio Curaray (the next major river south of the Rio Tiputini). Their widows pursued the work of Christianization, which resulted in around 80-90% of the Huaorani tribe abandoning their nomadic life style and settling in villages in the area which I visited on this trip. About 10-20% of the tribe, however, did not follow this transition and remained nomadic. Called Tagaeri (after Tagae, their leader), they violently resist any attemot of contact by outsiders - together with another uncontacted tribe, the Taromenane. The Ecuadorian Government has set up the "Zona Intangible" (the "untouchable zone") to protect these uncontacted First Nations, but it has, in recent years, reneged on this, by opening up part of the area for oil development and production - notably within the framework of the Yasuni-ITT project. My readers will wonder, why does the Ecuadorian Government not afford the highest level of protection to this area, given that this may well be the most diverse (in terms of number of species per unit area) rainforest area in the world? The sad reality is that<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> 35% of Ecuadorians live under the poverty line and that oil exports provide 1/3 of the country's export revenue.</span> After several bankruptcies which came with the inability to access the international financial markets, Quito has looked increasingly to China as a major source of
credit – including loans that are supported by crude oil deliveries. Indeed, China’s aggressive quest for foreign oil has reached a new
milestone, according to records reviewed by <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-ecuador-oil-special-report/special-report-how-china-took-control-of-an-opec-countrys-oil-idUSBRE9AP0HX20131126">Reuters</a>, by achieving near monopoly control of
crude exports from Ecuador (an OPEC nation), a rare feat in today’s diversified oil market. Shunned by most lenders since a $3.2 billion debt default in
2008, Ecuador now relies heavily on Chinese credits. Very sadly, developing oil in the area meant <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/oil-drilling-in-yasuni-creates-tension-between-germany-and-ecuador/a-17039142">losing an aid package by the German Government </a>which would have meant <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/a-valuable-natural-asset-for-the-world/a-16798374">leaving the Yasuni-ITT area untouched for the long term in exchange for $ 3.6 billion</a> to which Germany was willing several hundred million $ as part of its global efforts to combat climate change.<br />

I am once more writing our blog in mid-air, right now east
of Al-Kut, Iraq, on the way from Amsterdam to Kuwait. I am on the way to a
monthlong excursion with my Kuwaiti PhD students Amal Hasan and Hanan Al-Adilah,
exploring the marine algal biodiversity of Kuwait. In Kuwait, we will be joined
tonight by Ioanna Kosma, marine biologist and scientific diver from the
University of the Aegean in Mytilini, Lesvos Island, Greece and tomorrow by
<a href="http://www.bezhinrosko.com/">Dr. Akira F. Peters, phycologist from Roscoff and Santec, Brittany, France</a>. Our
hosts will be Dr. Dhia Al-Bader, phycologist at Kuwait University, with further
support from <a href="http://www.hsc.edu.kw/login/FreeTextBox_CV.aspx?user=andreas">Prof. Andreas Wolfram Henkel</a>, likewise at Kuwait University. Also participating in the later part of the trip will be my brother, Hendrik, <a href="http://webserver.umbr.cas.cz/~kupper/AG_Kuepper_contact.html">Professor or Plant Biochemistry and Biophysics at the Czech Academy of Sciences and University of Southern Bohemia in Ceske Budejovice</a>, Czech Republic. </div>

It is night outside, but the gigantic flares of oil and gas
installations in southern Iraq are clearly visible. This route is a novelty –
during my previous trips to the region in 2015-2016, Iraqi airspace was closed
for international airlines, which suggests that Iraq has now become safe enough
to fly across.</div>

Our objective is to establish an inventory of all Kuwaiti
marine macrophytes, seaweeds and sea grasses, supported by DNA barcodes (Amal’s
PhD project), and to collect seaweeds for marine natural products research
(Hanan’s PhD project, supervised by Dr. Rainer Ebel and myself at Aberdeen). We
will also explore the marine vegetation in the vicinity of desalination plants
which provide all the drinking water of Kuwait and which, besides a massive
carbon footprint, release a hot, concentrated salty brine into coastal waters,
damaging marine life. </div>

We landed in Kuwait KWI in the evening of Feb. 1. Our first base was a hotel in Salmiya, a pleasant coastal suburb a bit east of downtown Kuwait City on the coast. We spent the first two days meeting our local friends and collaborators, especially Dhia and Andreas, organizing logistics and shopping for last pieces of equipment and supplies.<br />

We then moved to Khiran in the south of Kuwait, about 10 km north of the
border to Saudi Arabia, where Amal owns a holiday apartment or chalet,
on the shore of a recently-constructed lagoon. Ever since the
construction of the Palm Islands off the coast of Dubai in 2001, such
modifications of the coastline have become very popular in the countries
of the Arabian Gulf - especially in the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi
Arabia and Kuwait. Given the high value of real estate and the rapidly
increasing wealthy population in these countries, the main driver is
obviously to obtain more waterfront construction land by artificially
increasing the length of the coastline. Given the ease of access of this
artificial shore in front of Amal's chalet, this and other nearby
artificial canals and lagoons became obvious study sites. Ioanna,
Andreas and I had many opportunities to dive in these, revealing
interesting insight about these artificial marine habitats. We feel that
a thorough exploration of these artificial lagoons and canals would
deserve some serious further study, also because they are getting so
common throughout the Arabian Gulf Region and an obvious question is,
can they maybe be designed and built in a way that enhances desirable
marine biodiversity? Indeed, Andreas was our main support and guide for
diving during our entire trip to Kuwait, and he deserves special thanks
and mention here. <br />

While based in Khiran, we had two snorkeling excursions to Nuwaiseeb - the last community in Kuwait before the border to Saudi Arabia. We found a very rich intertidal and shallow sublittoral - and a beautiful meadow of the seagrass <i>Halodule uninervis</i>, which is typical of the Arabian Gulf. </div>

Another highlight of our time in Khiran was the excursion with the patrol boat of the Kuwait Coast Guard, Dastoor, to the islands of Qarooh and Umm Al-Maradim, the former of which is ca. 35 km out in the Arabian Gulf. Qaruh owes its name to the large amounts of petroleum sediments in the area (<i>Qar</i> in Arabic). It is the smallest of Kuwait's 9 islands, and also the furthest island from the Kuwaiti coast. We were impressed by the abundant corals at Qarooh. Like at all study sites, we collected substratum samples in sterile tubes, from which Akira will obtain live isolates using the Germling Emergence Method (<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Peters AF, Couceiro L, Tsiamis K, Küpper<sup>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">While in Khiran, we had 3 rainy days. A good time for writing papers and catching up on other office work! Amal had the great idea that I should buy a Kuwaiti SIM card for my smartphone during our second day in Salmiya, which was blessing since it meant that we had constant internet access on all our laptops and other devices, using my smartphone as a WiFi hotspot.</span><br />
<br />
One day, on 8 February, we explored the main canal in Khiran - first, Andreas and I dived at the breakwater outside the Al-Zour power station and desalination plant. Conditions were quite difficult with 1 m visibility at the most.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Part
of our objectives (in preparation for a project funded by the Kuwait
Foundation for the Advancement of Science, KFAS) was also to conduct
preliminary surveys at the brine outfalls of the desalination plants of
Al-Zour and Doha East/West. Being a very arid country without any usable
natural freshwater resources, Kuwait relies entirely on seawater
desalination for meeting its demand for drinking / tap and industrial
water, using Multi-Stage Flash Distillation (MSFD) coupled to electric
power generation, powered by burning heavy fuel oil. Besides substantial
emissions of carbon dioxide and other atmospheric pollutants, this
generates a hot brine of concentrated sea salts, which is released back
into shallow coastal sea waters. Led by Dhia, we are exploring how
seaweed and seagrass communities are affected by the outfall of hot and
salty brine.The </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">On one such excursion on 15 February, Andreas drove us to Al-Jahra and from there to the northwestern desert of Kuwait, to the Camel Hills (an inofficial name given to the area by Andreas and his expat friends). On the way, we passed the American bases of Camp Virginia and Camp Buehring. The intense rain this winter meant that there were countless flowers blooming in the desert - which almost looked like a green meadow! The abundant vegetation also constituted a feast for the many camels, who, even though they belong to Bedouins, have a semi-wild life. The Camel Hills offered some spectacular scenery and, again, many wildflowers and some other interesting wildlife (such as a colony of harvester ants). We were reminded of the troubled recent past when we came across earth berms erected as fortifications, assault rifle bullets in the sand and an abandoned lookout tower. In the afternoon, we had a very friendly encounter with Bedouins, who shared some fresh camel milk with us and who let Ioanna ride on one of their camels. We also came across a ghost town of plywood houses - as Andreas explained, they are a training ground of US forces for practicing urban warfare. From the distance, we saw a convoy of American flatbed trucks which are used for transporting tanks and other heavy equipment. We then came across several oil wells, active and inactive, and related installations - pipelines and oil lakes of about 100-200 sq m surface, which have the purpose of releasing potential overpressure from the system.</span></div>

Mahboula was a good base for our activities. We greatly enjoyed the hotel with its very authentic Kuwaiti food. The latter is very different from other types of Arabic food which are known in the western World (mostly Lebanese and Moroccan). Reflecting ancient maritime links with the Indian Ocean, with its stews and spices it is indeed more reminiscent of Indian food. We explored the nearby shore in Fintas, close to the impressive Marine Science Center of Kuwait University.<br />

<span aria-live="polite" class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption">A very memorable excursion took us to Failaka. Thanks to Amal's cousin who owns a very nice boat, we were independent. We set off from Souq Sharq, next to the Sharq Fish Market. Within a bit less than an hour, we reached the harbour of Failaka. The name is derived from the Greek word "Φυλάκιο" = "outpost", testimony to its past as a Greek colony founded in the context of Alexander the Great's expedition. With Amal's support, I had visited Failaka before in April 2016. Then, the local police department on the island had provided us with a vehicle and driver (since Amal and her relative, Prof. Hasan Al-Ashkanani, had worked as archaeologists on Failaka) and subsequently invited us for a traditional Kuwaiti lunch in the police station. I was very touched when several of the police officers still remembered me (which also indicated how few foreigners come to Failaka). On this occasion, Amal managed to borrow a vehicle from a friend, which enabled us to visit the ruins of the Greek and Dilmun-era town on Failaka. Impressive! A Greek colony, even with a small temple, on a hill overlooking the Arabian Gulf. Failaka was as lush green as the mainland, or even more. Seeing a herd of white camels having a feast on a beautiful green, wet meadow full of blue irises, which otherwise would be desert, was quite a sight. We then drove on to the former resort consisting of abandoned chalets, where we sampled the intertidal. A bit further, we came across a parking site of abandoned Iraqi hardware - tanks, artillery pieces and military vehicles. Failaka saw a brief, fierce battle during the Iraqi invasion in August 1990. During the liberation of Kuwait, the Iraqi occupation forces surrendered to the Americans thanks to effective psy-war operations of the latter. Still, the devastation of the Iraqi invasion is all to obvious in Failaka - many buildings are shelled and some have collapsed, and many others are riddled with bullet holes. We finally came to a very interesting rocky shore with intertidal and numerous tidal pools, and a nearby tidal lagoon, on the north coast (from where the Subiya Desalination and Power Plant is visible), enabling very rich collections. We left Failaka under a full moon - an unforgettable sight - with a cormorant visibly enjoying itself.</span></span><br />

The next day, we were hoping to go on another expedition with the friendly crew of the Coast Guard vessel Dastoor, diving around some of the smaller islands in the Gulf, but the weather turned out to be too poor. Instead, we went to work in the Kuwait University Marine Lab in Fintas, followed by another visit to the Dower Power & Desalination Plants.<br />

On 21 February, we again had the support of the coast guard who gave
us again the patrol boat Dastoor and a diving support speed boat for
surveying the seabed near Kubbar Island. Kubbar has some more coral
reefs, even though they seemed to be in less good shape than at Qarooh
and Umm Al-Maradim. Ioanna and I managed to do the deepest dive of the
entire trip at Kubbar - to 35.7 m - where we collected more substratum
samples for Akira's germling emergence work. The dive was technically very challenging - strong current and very poor visibility. Beneath 20 m it was completely dark! This dive dramatically illustrated the hydrology of the Arabian Gulf - naturally eutrophic and high in silt / sediment, very different from the Red Sea, open Indian Ocean or Mediterranean. While we were in the water,
Dhia, Akira and Hendrik explored Kubbar on foot and cleaned the beaches
of plastic litter. Like on Failaka, the lush green vegetation on Kubbar was exceptional! Special thanks to Cptn. Mubarak of the Kuwait Coast

was among the first parts of Kuwait liberated by US forces during
Operation Desert Storm in 1991.<br />

for a traditional evening and dinner party in a tent. Thank you for your
great hospitality!<br />

A final highlight was a day excursion on 23 February with Andreas and his hummer to the north of Kuwait - Mutla Ridge, Subiya, the coast opposite Bubiyan Island, towards and then westwards along the Iraqi border to Abdaly, and then back Kuwait City. Leaving Kuwait City in the morning, our first stop was Mutla Ridge - with 1,004 feet ( 306 metres) altitude, this is the highest point in Kuwait. The area had seen fighting in the last days of February 1991, testimony of which were numerous pieces of shrapnel, bullets etc. stuck in the rocks which Andreas showed us during our brief hike. In terms of topography and together with the Camel Hills / Udairi area in NW Kuwait, this is one of the most interesting and scenic places in Kuwait with canyons, mesas and buttes.<br />

An interesting site then was a supposedly strictly off-limits, fenced-off structure. Since the gate in the fence was wide open, we took this as an invitation to check it out. It turned out to be an oil lake of the same design that we had previously seen in the Udairi area - a catchment area for oil spilled out of wells during episodes of overpressure. The oil collected in it was still liquid.<br />

The next stop was the head of the new bridge crossing the channel to Bubiyan Island. I had previously visited this area in April 2016 with Dhia. This is one of the places on the Kuwaiti coastline which has some mangrove trees (planted for coastal protection and creating wildlife habitat). But, given the proximity to Iraq and Iran, it is also a very sensitive area which is the reason why the Kuwaiti army has a camp at the ramp of the bridge. To be correct, I wanted to be sure to have proper authorization to sample there - the obvious place was to ask in the military camp. So I walked straight into it! The Kuwait Army soldiers guarding the access to the
Bubiyan Bridge (Bubiyan itself is still closed) and the area were most hospitable and guided us into this restricted area for
surveying the seashore with the mangrove trees and seaweeds growing there – and
afterwards they invited us for lunch, Arabian coffee and shisha into their camp
and didn’t want to let us go anymore. Wonderful moments, they were clearly
delighted about having unexpected visitors. Shukran, Cptn. Mansour! I'll be back!<br />
<br />
Their colleagues further north, in the
last Army post before the Iraqi border, were more nervous and signalled us to
turn back which we did. That area, just south of the Iraqi border and the port
of Umm Qasr beyond it, has the best salt marshes and coastal wetlands that I
have seen in Kuwait. I just wish that at least some of this will be preserved
despite the pharaonic construction projects (so far only freeways, but
obviously as a prelude to massive urbanization) that have started also in that
area. </div>

In the afternoon, Amal took us to the National Day celebrations which had started that day (and which were about to last 2 more days). Driving from Mahboula via Fintas to Salmiya and then on Arabian Gulf Street to Kuwait City, the roadside was lined with crowds of people partying. Children and adults alike had fun in water-bombing and spraying passing cars. Dhia told me afterwards that she also very much enjoys such fun and that next year, I would be her target!<br />

A very big THANK YOU to our Kuwaiti friends for their outstanding hospitality - to Dhia Al-Bader and her husband Tareq, to Hanan Al-Adilah and her family and husband, and to Amal Hasan and her family. And of course, special thanks to Andreas for being such a good guide, host, and logistics support for most of our explorations around the coast and islands of Kuwait!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
PS. The Marler Zeitung, a newspaper in Marl, Germany, reported about our expedition to Kuwait:<br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Once more, I
am writing these lines on the way back to Aberdeen from one of my trips – a
research visit to San Diego State University in California, where I have been
collaborating with my long-time friend <a href="http://www.chemistry.sdsu.edu/faculty/index.php?name=Carrano">Carl J. Carrano </a>ever since he moved
there in 2003, and where I have been an adjunct professor since 2013. Together
with his MSc student Teresa Tymon, we have been exploring halogen and trace
metal metabolism in giant kelp (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Macrocystis</i>)
since 2013<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=47406135893684361#_edn1" name="_ednref1" style="mso-endnote-id: edn1;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">[i]</span></span></span></span></a>.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">But today, I
wanted to write about our activities to combat plastic pollution and to raise
public awareness about this problem. We – that is Teresa Tymon and Rubem
Miranda in Pacific Beach, San Diego, California, Vivian Louizidou on the Greek
island of Rhodes, and myself. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I woke up to
this problem in 1995, when I moved to the Station Biologique de Roscoff in
Brittany, France as an undergraduate research student, and when it was not yet
as present on the public mind as it is now. At that time, I was surveying the
population of an abundant brown seaweed, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Pylaiella
littoralis</i>, for pathogen outbreaks. During my weekly surveys, which
consisted of walking in the intertidal and on the shore around Roscoff for
about 2 hours at a time, I always took one bucket for my seaweed samples, and
another one or a trash bag for all the marine litter that I was picking up. I
continued this over my 6 years at Roscoff, until moving to California in
November 2001 as a postdoc. During these years, I must have collected several
cubic meters of marine litter from the Breton shore! It also struck me during
my investigations that tufts of algal filaments often contained small plastic
particles, in particular colored fibres of plastic (polypropylene or nylon)
ropes. Initially, they looked like unknown filamentous algae to me, but the sad
reality that this was an increasing amount of microplastic pollution soon
dawned on me.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I continued
to clean beaches and the seabed (as a diver) in all my residences (and many of
the places that I have been visiting) since leaving Roscoff in 2001 –
California and Scotland. Most recently, I participated in a beach-cleaning day
organized by Rubem in Imperial Beach on March 24 this year – a coastal
community between San Diego and the Mexican border city of Tijuana. Besides
being a chemistry grad student, Teresa also works as a freelance artist, and
part of her artwork is produced from marine litter collected during such
events. In total, over 100 volunteers participated in the event. We collected
about 150 pounds of trash full of beach litter, all the material collected is
clean and storage by RouteUSA, in order to create art and increase awareness a
great way to bring attention for the cause.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Whatever was
suitable for the urban recycling program of San Diego was taken out, likewise
everything suitable for art work. Only about half of the litter collected ended
up going to landfill, with the remainder being put to recycling or re-use.</span></span></div>

latter can barely be recycled easily, unless considerable effort is made to
wash it. </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I

(which obviously needs to be imported at a cost)! In remoter parts of India,
this has become a low-tech, low-cost solution for surfacing roads – and
eliminating the plastic waste problem at the same time. There is obviously a
huge need for road surfacing in the world over the foreseeable future - which
could swallow many years’ worth of recycled plastic. It would also reduce or
eliminate any need for transporting exporting collected plastic waste. Also
particularly attractive is that plastic containing sand particles collected
from beaches (such as discarded fishing gear) is perfectly suitable for this
purpose – so much better than dumping this in landfill.</span></span></span></span></div>

objective with the beach clean-up is to promote awareness, inform the community
about the epidemic problem of marine litter, and create art with the material

fight against ocean pollution, we have noted a trend on this matter, with the

against plastic bags was adopted recently, stipulating that consumes now have
to buy their plastic bags in supermarkets. Also, new regulations are being
proposed against plastic straws - <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>businesses
will have to pay a fine up to U$1,000 if they offer plastic straws to the

uses art as a form to express the problem and the quantity of trash is found in
the oceans. We believe we can create a bigger impact in the society if we find
a way to give value to something that loses value if discarded inappropriately.
That’s why we also engage in ocean education in schools to teach the new
generations about consumption, waste, in order to avoid recyclable materials ending
up in landfills or, worse, in the ocean.</span></span></div>

since then and day by day many of the citizens now know where to dispose their

that give you a bit of money back would be the best motive for all citizens to
use it more. Especially in a still recovering Greek economy. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">A few years
ago, if you were talking about environmental protection and recycling you were
risking to be characterized as “graphic”, “crazy ecologist” or a “hippie”…
Thank God this belongs to the past! The two became three and now we are more
than one thousand three! People are thirsty for protecting the environment, thirsty
for recycling and thirsty to reduce the use of plastic more than everything!
This is how a new campaign started. The “Refill Greece” project, where anyone
can turn his house or cafeteria or hotel or anything into a water refill
station. Therefore, we can use the same water bottle, with the option to refill
it – for free! - , instead of buying a new plastic one. The cool thing is that
you can download the app and you can see all the refill stations near you!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

I am writing this in mid-air from RAF Mount Pleasant, the
large air base in the Falkland Islands, to the Cape Verde Islands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a marvelous expedition: 2 days in the
air on the way from Aberdeen to Punta Arenas, Chile, almost 4 days stuck there,
then 6 weeks in Antarctica and 5 days in the Falklands on the way home (which
will take almost 3 days to reach Aberdeen) – 8 weeks minus 2 days in total! The aircraft on this route is an Airbus Voyager, a military version of the A330 - a combined tanker, cargo, passenger and medevac aircraft which is capable of in-flight refueling of fighter jets (that's how the RAF transfers Tornadoes and Typhoons to the Falklands and back to the UK). Today's stopover is in Sal Island, the major airport in the Cape Verde Islands - this is because the runway of the airbase in Ascension Island, the traditional stopover on this route, is currently closed for repairs.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Time to reflect! Scientifically, the main objective was
accomplished – we managed to start the sampling of representative Antarctic
seaweed species, monthly samples of which will be investigated by
transcriptomics and metabolomics. Aurelia is now trained and “up to speed” to
continue this work autonomously after my departure, over the next 14 months. An
unexpected finding was that by Simon Morley of the hitherto-unreported
<i>Desmarestia</i>. Follow-up work in Aberdeen, including DNA sequencing, will reveal whether this is a new record of a species known from somewhere else for this part of Antarctica, a hitherto-unrecognized life cycle stage of a known taxon, or a new species to science.<br />
<br />
<br />
My time in the Falklands was spent visiting my 2 PhD students, Emma Beaton at the South Atlantic Environmental Research Institute (SAERI) and Jessica Jones at the Falkland Islands Government Fisheries Department, and my numerous friends and colleagues in the islands's capital, Stanley, including the SAERI Director, Paul Brickle, and Sasha Arkhipkin at the Falkland Islands Government Fisheries Department. Emma works on intertidal ecology and seaweed biodiversity of the Falklands, while Jessica studies the biology of squid in the Southern Ocean - a major resource for the Falklands. Arriving at the B&B of my long-time friend Kay McCallum felt like coming back to a good old home! The 5 days in the Falklands had some of the best summer weather that the islands can offer. I enjoyed an afternoon at the Magellanic penguin colony at Gypsy Cove, and I was very lucky to get an invitation to get an invitation from Marina Costa (SAERI) and Stevie Cartwright (Shallow Marine Surveys Group) to participate in a boat-based, 1-day cetacean survey around Stanley. We saw a sei whale (yet too far away to get good photos) and then numerous Peale's dolphins and then finally also Commerson's dolphins. The Peale's dolphins were mostly around Cape Pembroke - they were very playful and inquisitive and kept coming in pods to our boat - and jumping in the air as if they wanted to show off for us! Finally, we saw 2 pods of Commerson's dolphins in the interior of the large bay, Stanley Harbour - one of them had a newborn calf!<br />
<br />
I feel incredibly lucky and privileged having this kind of experiences (and the main reason for having this illustrated blog is to share them). Of course, I am well aware that especially when visiting places like Antarctica and the Falklands, I may never be able to come back. I had these thoughts during my first trip to Antarctica in 2010-2011 - and I feel very lucky and grateful to be given this opportunity a second time. <br />
<br />
This is the conclusion of my Antarctic voyage - if you have enjoyed following my explorations and adventures, I would be delighted to hear from you. Thank you for following me to the cold, far side of our home planet.<br />

<br />
After arriving in Antarctica on Christmas Day, the first week was spent doing the necessary inductions for health and safety, survival training, communications etc. And then, the Diving Officer (who has to do a check-out dive with every newly arrived scientist) was injured from a running accident on New Year's Eve... which meant that I didn't get into the water for the first week of 2018 either. Instead, I did <a href="https://algae-group.blogspot.co.uk/2018/01/antarctic-voyage-3-work-getting-under.html">terrestrial field work on Anchorage and Leonie Island</a>, and I had the marvellous <a href="https://algae-group.blogspot.co.uk/2018/01/antarctic-voyage-4-flavor-of.html">experience of a flight to Fossil Bluff on Alexander Island</a>, about 500 km south of Rothera.<br />
<br />
This blog chapter is the illustrated diary of my next 4 weeks at Rothera which followed, until my departure to the Falkland Islands on Feb. 5. It gives you a pretty good idea of what life and work as a marine biologist in Antarctica can look like.<br />
<br />
You may realize that during many days during this period, the intended work was impossible for a range of external factors. Such a large amount of downtime is very typical of working in Antarctica. It is generally not considered a problem, as long as one has budgeted for this in the schedule of such an expedition. For this reason, expeditions to Antarctica usually take months rather than weeks!<br />
It should also be said that such downtime is rarely wasted - Rothera and certainly most other, modern research stations in Antarctica have very good office facilities (in the case of Rothera, with internet and landline phone lines - within the area code of Cambridge, England!) which enable scientists with multiple responsibilities at home to keep on top of a good part of their regular jobs "in the real world". In my case, that meant that while at Rothera for 6 weeks between Dec. 25, 2017 and Feb. 5, 2018, I managed to write a reasonably advanced draft of a paper (which should have been written since summer 2014!), I participated in an EU ITN proposal led by a Dutch friend and colleague, and I revised another paper for JBIC which was even accepted while I was still in Antarctica.<br />
<br />
And, of course, the recreational options at Rothera are superb, so that downtime is not really downtime after all, but rather an opportunity to enjoy the Antarctic nature and scenery, to write letters to loved ones and friends around the world, to make new friendships, and a plethora of other pleasant things.<br />
<br />
Life in Antarctica is very good indeed - in a way, it feels like being in a better society in Utopia. It struck me that hardly anybody talks about money and politices. Indeed, money and politics are almost irrelevant down here - BREXIT, Trump, the war in Syria, etc. seemed like a zillion light years away. Also, I noticed that hardly ever, people argued. Instead, they talk of the rest of civilization as "the real world", as if being in Antarctica is indeed a life in Utopia, or a dream that will at some point abruptly come to an end.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

The Diving Officer is fit to dive again and we have all the equipment
sorted for me to start diving here... but right now, a leopard seal is
lurking in the water here at Rothera, which means diving is prohibited!
And in around 2 h, the HMS Protector (the Royal Navy icebreaker) is
expected at the Biscoe Wharf, so no diving either. All this looks like a

I was again ready to do my check-out dive half an hour ago... fully
kitted up, about to launch the boat... when the seal watch team spotted a
big leopard seal with its characteristic grin which had come to welcome
me back to diving at Rothera! Went back inside, moved all the kit back
into the shed, got out of my dry suit without even having gotten wet. No
diving for the rest of today.</div>

It is now clear that this Antarctic expedition is being ruled by
Murphy's law. Three weeks and one day after leaving Aberdeen, still not a
single bit of science of the original project done. I have never seen
an expedition like this one.<br />
We were again ready to do the
check-out dive this morning. The leopard seals were having a day out and
leaving us alone, the sea conditions were perfect, no ice, etc. - we
were on the boat, all the checks done, all perfect, within less than a<span class="text_exposed_show">
minute from jumping in. The supervisor strapped the mask to my face (we
are using full-face masks with voice communications, which require an
extra person to strap them to the diver) - when a silicone strap of the
mask broke. Dive cancelled, this will require a complete change of mask
(since the wrong type of spare straps was sent to Rothera earlier in the
season). We want to try again this afternoon, but I am confident that
until then, the leopard seals and the icebergs will be back.</span><br />

while the 2 divers were in the water". Dive aborted (the divers were
called back immediately by voice comms), back to the dive shed, diving
prohibited for the next 4 h (which de facto cancels my scheduled dive
this afternoon). Welcome to life as a research diver in Antarctica. </div>

In the meantime - Hooray! - since my last post, diving has indeed
started, I got into the water yesterday afternoon. Another dive is
schedule for this afternoon - provided of course that there are no
leopard seals, orcas, icebergs, and that the wind doesn't pick up too
much.</div>

Jan. 13</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No diving today, instead the divers were trained for encounters with
leopard seals (in theory) and (in practice) how to rescue an unconscious
diver out of Antarctic waters. In the latter part, I first was one of
the rescuers and then playing the unconscious diver who was pulled out
and brought back to life. Hopefully diving will resume on Monday. </div>

Hooray.
Serious diving in Antarctica has now started for me and my project
here, I had a nice dive this morning and everything went very well. I
have just returned from seal watch on Monument / Cross Hill, covering
for the dive team presently in the water: I always enjoy this, despite
the freezing wind and drifting snow today (the weather today is not
nearly as nice as yesterday). Only friendly and cute seals are around!
The leopard seals are having an extended weekend and didn't show up for
work today, which means that the Rothera Dive Team will manage to do 3
or 4 dives today. <br />
Today is the half point for my time in
Antarctica - 3 weeks behind me, 3 to go. If I can get 2 weeks (out of 6
in total) of good diving here, I am happy. There is a good reason why
trips to Antarctica take months rather than weeks.</div>

during my 3rd dive here this season (off Cheshire Island), I got to
trial my new Olympus TG-5 Tough underwater camera. This is Aurelia
Reichart accompanying me during this dive. You can see the kind of
equipment we are using here - in particular, the full-face mask - but
also the Antarctic summer conditions for diving here: the intense 24 h
sunlight and abundant nutrients have caused a massive phytoplankton
bloom, which supports the foodweb and, ultimately, all the penguins,
seals and whales in Antarctica. Of course, that makes photography very
difficult!</span></span><br />

Jan. 18</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After a slow start, things are now running as I had hoped they would
when I was planning this project in Antarctica. Had my 4th dive today,
which may not sound like much in a tropical or Mediterranean field site,
but which is pretty good for Antarctica (even though still a far cry
from the 17 dives which I managed to do here in 2010-2011). The leopard
seals seem to have gone on holidays for the whole week and left us
alone, but the wind became quite fierce after this dive and Aurelia and I
were the only people in the water here today. The dive yielded a new
record of a brown alga, a <i>Desmarestia</i> sp., for this part of Antarctica -
we will be processing the materials in the Bonner Lab for the remainder
of the afternoon, in order to enable follow-up work in Aberdeen and
Roscoff. </div>

In the evening, I recorded a couple of selfie videos, showing me explaining some typical animals of Antarctica to children - in Greek. This was the idea of my friend Maria Tsiakardoni, who works at a kindergarten in Athens. Initially we wanted to do a videoconference, but the internet in Antarctica is too slow for this - we therefore decided that I would pre-record several videos, transfer them to Athens, and then have a live phone conference on Tuesday Jan. 23. The selfie below with an Adelie penguin is from the first of these videos:</div>

It's the weekend also at Rothera, and the leopard seals are off again...
which means that Simon Morley and I got to do a very nice dive in South
Cove today, checking out a long-term temperature logger which is
deployed there at 19 m depth, tagging an anemone for long-term
monitoring, and then doing a bit of seaweed survey & photography.</div>

The American ARSV Laurence M. Gould is visiting Rothera today for its
traditional annual visit - currently the vessel is taking some of our
colleagues on a mini-cruise into Marguerite Bay (I didn't join this time
- I had this experience in early 2011, and given that the present
schedule has slipped a bit, diving today had priority). And tonight
there will be the traditional "Gould Night" at Rothera (will write more
about that probably tomorrow).</div>

Yesterday
evening, we had this year's edition of the legendary Gould Night at
Rothera: The crew of the American ARSV Laurence M. Gould was visiting
Rothera for their traditional, annual visit which included a soccer
match (this year, the Brits won 2-0) and a nice party with live music in
one of the sheds. Legend has it that part of the motivation for this
visit is that American ships and bases in Antarctica are "dry", while
their British counterparts are not. Therefore, the A<span class="text_exposed_show">mericans like to visit the Brits every now and then for a good party.</span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
Today is Sunday, with beautiful summer weather here: After spending a
few hours in the office this morning, revising a paper for JBIC (for a
resubmission deadline next week), I will probably hike up to the Cabooze
on the glacier with Matt Davey this afternoon.<br />

THE LEOPARD SEALS ARE BACK TO ROTHERA. <br />
I was helping out in the ROV (remotely operated vehicle - a
remote-controlled small submarine) team on the RHIB "Erebus" this
morning, and intending to go diving later. On the way to the ROV
deployment site, we saw three big leopard seals on ice flows and small
icebergs. We radioed base, all diving was cancelled immediately (another
dive team was ready to get into the water about 100 m from where I took
this shot). This one showed particularly aggressive behavior towards us
on the boat. I will upload more photos later tonight, when the
satellite link is less busy.<br />
There was too much cuteness here at Rothera lately, now the horror of the leopard seal is back...</div>

bit of Rothera history: Pictured below is the 2nd oldest building on base (now the "chippie shed"), built

sled dogs used to share it. Now this is the wood workshop, but I heard
that it might be demolished in 2-3 years, which I find quite sad since
it's a monument to the history of Rothera and it will be impossible for
modern-day polar researchers and students to even imagine how basic and
difficult life was here for their predecessors only 40 years ago.</span></span> </span></span><br />

Jan. 27</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After 6 days without any diving (last Monday, the leopard seals kept all
divers out of the water, then we had 3 days of "relief" of the RRS
James Clark Ross at Rothera, leaving almost everybody tired and/or ill),
our Antarctic diving has resumed today: I had a very successful dive
with Simon Morley in South Cove this morning. Another 4 jobs ticked off
the list, with another 9 days to go here. It was freezing and very
windy, our hands were getting numb under water, the voice comms failed
and the visibility was absolutely crap… but it was great fun, so much
better than sitting in my office! </div>

This is the friendly and cute Weddell seal (not a leopard!) that I met 2
evenings ago and which surprised me by eating (or just biting into?)
snow and ice here at Rothera. I am not sure about the reasons for this
behavior - whether the seal is just having fun, whether it is thirsty /
dehydrated, whether it is hot (rather unlikely at that time of the
night!) or whether it is practicing for biting breathing holes into sea
ice (Weddell seals are among those species which spend the winter in
Antarctica when the sea freezes over, unlike e.g. the leopards which
seasonally migrate to sub-Antarctic locations such as the Falkland
Islands).</div>

A snowy Sunday, spent in my office at the Bo<span style="background-color: white;">nner Lab. Days like this are part of life in Antarctica!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">I did the final revisions for a paper entitled "Emission of volatile halogenated compounds, speciation<br />and localization of bromine and iodine in the brown algal genome model <i>Ectocarpus siliculosus</i>" for resubmission to Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry. And, within about an hour, I got the reply from the editor: Accepted! Hooray. The paper is dedicated to my friends Yasuyuki Muramatsu (Gakushuin University, Tokyo), who untimely passed away during the writing of this article, and to Alison Butler (University of California, Santa Barbara), on the occasion of her Bader Award from the American Chemical Society.</span><br />

I had two excellent dives at Trolval Island yesterday and at Cheshire
Island today, resp. - these may have been the last ones during this
Antarctic expedition since the weather forecast for the rest of the week
is very bad... but the science program is now well under way, and the
diving that we managed to do here is definitely sufficient for what we
wanted to do. I also got used to my new underwater camera, especially
the macro photos look better now than 2 weeks ago... </div>

Feb. 1</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Antarctic summer is coming to an end - the sun is now below the
horizon at midnight (even though there is still plenty of light in the
sky) - and so is my time here. I had another magnificent walk around
Rothera Point last night, meeting the penguins under the rising full
moon. Enjoy the images.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As my friend Pete Convey (BAS) pointed out, the unusually large
moon which I observed here last night was actually a supermoon, which
means that the full moon was in its perigee (closest possible distance
from Earth) - a very special astronomical phenomenon! </div>
How unbelievably lucky was I to witness this from Antarctica!<br />
<br />
Apparently I was one of only 2 people here on base to have seen this,
everybody else was in bed at that time in the middle of the night while I
was visiting the penguins...<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Due to my scheduled departure flight from Rothera to the Falklands on
Monday, I can no longer dive here, even though the weather would be
perfect... instead, I did some shore-based work on Lagoon Island in
Ryder Bay today (sampling Prasiola), followed by a scenic boat ride to
the Sheldon Glacier and the other islands in the bay. This area has an
exceptional diversity of seal species - and with today's encounter with
fur seals, I have seen all 5 of them over the last 6 weeks here! The
scenery today was like a reconciliation for the departure from this
wonderful place back to the real world. Enjoy the images.</div>

Feb. 4</div>
Six wonderful weeks in Antarctica are coming to and end! I am scheduled
to fly to the Falkland Islands tomorrow morning. The departure was
advanced by two hours since the weather at Rothera forecast to
deteriorate, so the pilots want to get us out of here sooner rather than
later - otherwise we might be stuck here for a few extra days (which I
wouldn't mind at all to be honest...)! <br />

I am writing these lines in mid-air, on board the BAS Dash-7
from Rothera to Mount Pleasant Airbase (MPN) in the Falklands – my last day at
Rothera was quite busy and spent packing, saving data, collecting last samples
of the terrestrial green alga <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Prasiola</i>
from the summit of Rothera Point. I spent about an hour with the pilots on the
flight deck, then catching up on some much-needed sleep and writing a letter to
a friend. </div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Today I had
another very exceptional experience – I got a flavor of Antarctica’s interior
when joining a re-supply flight to Fossil Bluff, 270 nautical miles (500 km)
south of Rothera on the SE side of Alexander Island. Fossil Bluff is a remote
forward operating station of the British Antarctic Survey which was first set
up in 1961 and besides serving as a fuel depot and refueling station for
aircraft heading further south into Antarctica, it has also enabled terrestrial
Antarctic research. The site is extremely remote and it has seen an epic story
of survival in Antarctica after a plane crash in 1967-68, when a party of 5 men
were stuck there for a year. And, hardly known, Alexander Island is the world’s
second largest uninhabited island (after Devon Island, Canada)<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=47406135893684361#_edn1" name="_ednref1" style="mso-endnote-id: edn1;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[i]</span></span></span></span></a>!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Being a flight
assistant/copilot for these flights at Rothera requires passing a short induction course, which involves
technical basics about the aircraft used for fieldwork by BAS, the de Havilland
Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter, meteorology, communications, and survival under remote
Antarctic field conditions. Twin Otters are the perfect type of aircraft for
operating in Polar Regions. Built since the late 1960s, they can be fitted with
skis, which means that they can operate simultaneously on runways and on snow /
ice. As it turned out, the same aircraft and pilot for today’s flight had just
returned from a mission to the US South Pole Station the week before.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Chucky, the acting
Field Operations Manager, had briefed me yesterday afternoon that I could join
a flight to Fossil Bluff today. Timing this was not easy since scuba diving and
flying are incompatible – but due to the Diving Officer’s foot injury one week
ago, I had not been diving yet, so this opportunity was ideal. In the morning
at 8 am, I met with Oliver Smith, the pilot, for pre-flight briefing. The
weather at our destination was still too foggy, so we decided to postpone our
departure and to reconvene in an hour. One hour later, things were still not
ideal, but two hours later, conditions were fine, and we decided to go. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">After onboard
briefing, we got airborne. Due to the northerly wind, we left Rothera’s runway
northbound, then turning to the east and then south. We passed across
Marguerite Bay, then a stretch of the Antarctic Peninsula / mainland
Antarctica, and then the George VI Sound and Shelf Ice – a massive floating
glacier, about 50-60 m thick, between Alexander Island and the Antarctic
Peninsula. Needless to say, the scenery was spectacular. I was wondering which
of these mountains that we passed, up to around 3,000 m high, had ever been
climbed by anybody. We flew across the ice shelf, which was covered by patches
of beautiful, turquoise melt water ponds which form for a couple of weeks
during the Antarctic summer.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">As we were
approaching our destination, we got into an area of rather low clouds. Oliver
descended the plane to around 300, then 150 m in order to fly under the cloud
layer, across the George VI Ice Shelf. On the right hand side (west of us),
impressive sedimentary rock formations appeared – this is clearly the reason
why our destination is called Fossil Bluff, since these rocks are rich in
fossils.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Because of the
prevailing wind, Oli flew a U-turn, and the Fossil Bluff runway appeared out of
nothing in the white. In fact, it was only marked by a line of drums with flags
attached. As he gently pulled the plane to the ground, I could hardly see the
surface of the snow – but I felt it, when the skis of the plane hit the snow!
This is a typical condition that pilots flying in Antarctica’s interior, which
inevitably requires landing on snow and ice runways, encounter. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The plane came to
a halt, and a skidoo with Jake and Jenny (one of Rothera’s 2 doctors, currently
detached to Fossil Bluff) drove up to us. After a quick welcome, Jake and Oli
started unloading today’s cargo, the 4 fuel drums, while Jenny gave me a quick
tour of the area on a skidoo.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">We drove close to
the base – consisting of a cottage with living accommodation for around 6
persons, a food store and a few outside structures, on a slope of scree<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=47406135893684361#_edn2" name="_ednref2" style="mso-endnote-id: edn2;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[ii]</span></span></span></span></a> .
</span><span class="hascaption"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The forward base at Fossil Bluff was
established in 1961. In the 1960s, scientists have repeatedly overwintered
here! On one occasion, this was involuntary after a plane crash about 300 km
away, when this was the nearest available shelter - the survivors arrived here
on foot. Everything has to be brought here by plane from Rothera.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="hascaption"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">I was able to have a
quick look at the terrestrial environment – snow and ice, cliffs, and
accumulations of scree. No macroscopic living being. But Jenny told me that
sometimes Adelie penguins walk past here – over 100 km from the nearest bit of
open sea water! Do they get lost, or do they come here on purpose, I had to
wonder. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="hascaption"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">It is worthwhile
reminding that Fossil Bluff is on a seashore – the George VI Shelf Ice is to
the East, just beneath us. Right here, it is around 55-60 m thick. Impossible
to drill a hole and to go diving – but something must live underneath, I had to
think! </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Finally, I did see
some living beings in this desert of ice and a bit of rocks. The designated
spot for peeing (marked with a flag, a bit away from the runway) before
boarding a plane has a reddish accumulation of snow algae, which are obviously
well fertilized here. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Due to a forecast
of deteriorating weather conditions, we had to get airborne again. Oli and I
bade farewell to Jake and Jenny, strapped ourselves into the cockpit seats, and
off we went. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The views were
again jaw-dropping. On this northbound leg back to Rothera, I had views towards
the east, i.e. towards the Antarctic Peninsula (as opposed to Alexander Island
on the way south). Mountains, glaciers… After about an hour, we reached the sea
at Marguerite Bay. The Antarctic Peninsula is quite narrow in this area – only
around 35 km at its narrowest isthmus. On its east side, and only about 1 hr of
flying time from Rothera, is the large Larsen C Ice Shelf. Larsen A and B have
disintegrated and largely vanished over the last 16 years, attributed to
long-term, man-made climate change. Larsen C, the largest of this system, has
been intensively monitored since the disintegration of A and B, as a sentinel
for the further progress of climate change.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Now flying over
the sea, there were lots of ice floes. Some of them had seals on them (but we
were too fast and too high for getting good shots).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The area started
looking familiar to me – the distinctive sky lines of Jenny Island, Mt. Liotard
and Pourquoi Pas Island appeared on the horizon. A bit less than an hour later,
we made a smooth landing at Rothera.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Even though I have
traveled a lot, today's flight to Fossil Bluff, Alexander Island, was an
extraordinary experience and a flavor of the Antarctic interior. Antarctica's
beauty and solitude are of another world. Around 4 h for roughly 1,000 km (540
nm) in the air, and a bit less than an hour on the ground at the destination.
Special thanks to Chucky, the Acting Field Operations Manager, and Oli, the
pilot, for making this happen.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Why are these
flights necessary? Due to the remoteness, fuel drums are ferried here by plane
from Rothera, which is very expensive and laborious, but still the only way to enable
aircraft- and vehicle-based expeditions here and further south in Antarctica<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=47406135893684361#_edn3" name="_ednref3" style="mso-endnote-id: edn3;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[iii]</span></span></span></span></a>.
In order to give you an idea of the effort required, today’s flight from
Rothera to Fossil Bluff delivered 4 drums of aviation fuel of 55 US gal (208 l
each) = 832 l in total. The fuel burn of the Twin Otter from Rothera to Fossil
Bluff amounted to around 80 US gal per hour, i.e. for a flight of a bit less
than 4 hours = around 320 US gal = a bit less than 1200 l, which is almost 1 ½
times the amount of fuel delivered for refueling other aircraft at Fossil
Bluff. In other words, for delivering 4 fuel drums to Fossil Bluff, the plane had to burn the content of almost 6 fuel drums. The ratio obviously gets much worse the further inland planes operate in
Antarctica. But scientific missions in the interior of Antarctica are essential
for a better understanding of what is happening to the world’s largest glaciers
(and, consequently, the world’s sea level), the ozone layer (the ozone hole was
discovered by BAS scientists working at Halley Base in the 1980s), and many
other science questions.</span></div>

I am now in my beautiful temporary office in the Bonner Lab of Rothera
Research Station and reflecting about the work we are trying to accomplish
here. My work is focused on the seaweeds of this part of Antarctica. During my
previous expedition in December 2010 - January 2011, the objective was to
establish an inventory for the Adelaide Island - Marguerite Bay region (SW
Antarctic Peninsula)<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=47406135893684361#_edn1" name="_ednref1" style="mso-endnote-id: edn1;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[i]</span></span></span></span></a>.
Our present work, in collaboration with Prof. Lloyd S. Peck (British Antarctic
Survey, Cambridge) and funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council
(NERC), has the following objectives:<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="mso-list: Ignore;">(1)<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "times new roman";">
</span></span>To understand how seaweeds, which are photosynthetic,
plant-like organisms, cope with spending more than half a year in darkness due

<div style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="mso-list: Ignore;">(2)<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "times new roman";">
</span></span>To study how seaweeds and other seabed-dwelling
organisms colonize the recently-deglaciated seabed areas which were until
recently covered by the nearby Sheldon Glacier in SE Adelaide Island, which has
shrunk fast since the mid-1990s.</div>
<br />
<br />
Indeed, there is plenty of evidence for climate change in this part of
Antarctica. Just a few examples:<br />
- Major glaciers and shelf ice areas (= glaciers floating on the sea) have
been shrinking right here, especially over the last 20 years. These effects are
well-documented back to the 1940s, since glaciers are relatively easy to map
and since the 1960s, there are also plenty of satellite images. As mentioned
above, one of my science objectives is to look at how marine life is colonizing
seabed areas that were underneath such shelf ice areas for the last 100,000
years or longer. The challenge is that it may be too hazardous to do any diving
in the most interesting areas near the glacier's edge since it releases
icebergs with hardly any prior notice – we may resort to using a
remotely-operated vehicle (ROV, a remote-controlled, robotic submarine instead).<br />
- We are also looking into how organisms from more temperate climates
further north are colonizing the seabed in this part of Antarctica. When I
first came to this place 7 years ago, several colleagues told me that
"there isn't much seaweed at Rothera" and "so why do you want to
go there?" - but in the end, we found a lot more than expected (to be
precise, 18 species which had not been seen in this area before) <sup>i</sup>.
The difficulty with such studies is the shortage of historic baseline data for
many types of biodiversity - were these 18 species previously unrecorded
because they really were not here, or has nobody been looking for them? Before
my own studies here in 2010-2011, only 2 colleagues from UC Berkeley did any
diving-based surveys for seaweeds in this part of Antarctica (in the early
1970s) - and even though they were working in this same area, they managed to
do only 3 dives at sites different from those that I visited in 2010-2011. They
are very eminent, senior colleagues who were certainly doing the best work they
potentially could - if they have managed to do only 3 dives around here back
then, that is entirely down to the great logistical difficulties that they were
facing when working here in the 1970s (which are still not trivial still now). Back
in 2010-2011, we managed to accomplish 17 dives, which may not be a lot in a
place like the Mediterranean or much of the tropics, but quite a lot given the
climatic and logistic realities of Antarctica, obviously being fortunate to
have much better logistics and support for doing my work than my colleagues in
the 1970s, which they could only have dreamed of. Historic records for the
extent of glaciers in Antarctica are much more accurate (and there is therefore
high confidence to say that glaciers and shelf ice areas are really shrinking
in a big way) than biodiversity records for poorly known groups of organisms
such as seaweeds.<br />
- Another well-documented effect of climate change in this area is the
spread of land plants in this part of Antarctica. In the past, there used to be
only 2 species of land plants, in very few restricted, ice-free areas. Ice-free
areas have increased a lot, and land plants are the "winners" of
climate change - both the 2 native species have spread a lot in their range and
also a number of (mostly unwanted) new arrivals from sub-polar regions are
spreading around here. Land plants are obviously much easier to survey than
marine life that requires diving and more complex logistics.<br />
- Also, sub-Antarctic penguins seem to be spreading their range further into
Antarctica, while genuinely Antarctic penguins (like emperor and Adelie
penguins) seem to be coming under pressure.<br />
<br />
What I hear from colleagues and friends at various institutions in the US is
that the Trump administration is currently de-funding this kind of research at
all levels, entirely on short-sighted ideological grounds...<br />

For once, it's not the fault of the leopard seals: what was meant to be the
first dive of the Rothera Marine Team this year was screwed up by the resident
orcas of the area! Simon Morley and I were on "seal watch" (i.e. on
the lookout for marine mammals which can be potentially hazardous for divers -
leopard seals and orcas) for the first team to go into the water today (and we
were meant to dive later today). It looked like a perfect day for diving:
Sunny, mild temperatures, almost no wind... until the orcas showed up. No
diving for the next 4 hours as stipulated by BAS Diving Regulations, back to
the PC in the office instead. It is important to make good use of downtime like
this - whenever this happens, I revert to writing 2 papers and an EU proposal during
my present visit to Rothera.<br />
<br />
I might add that these orcas actually belong to a well-known resident pod, and
that some of them have featured in the 2001 first sequel of <i>Blue Planet </i>(in the
scenes where orcas chased seals off ice floes, which were filmed around
Rothera).<br />

In the evening, I went again on my little hike around Rothera Point. Quite a bit of snow had molten over the last 3 days, since I had last done this hike, and more and more of the coast, still under snow and ice last week, was now showing rock.<br />

While hiking around Rothera Point, I met Matt Davey and Andrew Gray</div>

<br />
And, finally, the penguins are back to Rothera! While I was sitting on a rock on the shore, suddenly this Adelie penguin (<i>Pygoscelis adeliae </i>- endemic to Antarctica, you won't normally see these in the Falklands!) jumped out of the water next to me.<br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Wednesday, January 3, 2018</b><br />
Still no diving here. The orcas who have prevented us from getting into the
water yesterday are gone, but today the Diving Safety Officer (with whom I need
to do one single check-out dive before being able to dive to my own agenda
here) is injured and can’t dive… I had a lovely boat trip to a nearby
island, Anchorage, this morning instead, assisting Dr. Matt Davey (University
of Cambridge) in his sampling of snow algae. Matt is interested in correlating
the abundance and diversity/taxonomic composition of snow algal patches with
satellite observations of the same areas. We used a Humber RHIB to get to
Anchorage, where we were dropped off by Aurelia and the Rothera Boat Team (the
“Boaties”). I had visited the island on December 28, 2010 together with Julia
Kleinteich for her sampling of cyanobacterial mats. <br />
<br />
<span class="hascaption">When we wanted to leave for our boat excursion this
morning, we had a problem... 2 icebergs were blocking Biscoe Wharf and we had
to wait until they had drifted away so that the RHIB could be lowered into the
water by the crane!</span><br />
<br />
<span class="hascaption">I had previously visited Anchorage Island in December 2010, supporting Julia Kleinteich during her sampling of cyanobacterial mats. Back then, I had thought that this might be the only time in my lifetime to visit this remote spot of the planet!</span><br />

The pole with the black flag serves as a deterrent for the skuas, which would otherwise be constantly dive-bombing us.</div>

The Melon Hut is well equipped, also for medical emergencies such as seal bites which can be pretty nasty. In this case, not the leopard seals are the culprits, but the cute-looking fur seals, <br />
which can outrun a human on land. <br />
The last field season had 3 cases of BAS staff bitten by fur seals in South Georgia! </div>

<span class="hascaption">The shrinking Sheldon Glacier on Adelaide Island. Part of my own research objectives here at Rothera is to investigate how benthic communities (especially seaweeds) are colonizing the seabed in areas which were covered by this glacier until a few years ago, and which are now being released to open water by climate change. This will not be an easy task - diving close to the glacier may be very difficult (because of the steep seabed profile, quickly dropping to > 100 m) or too dangerous (if too close to the glacier, which calves icebergs all the time) and we may have to resort to using ROVs instead of divers (as much as I love diving in Antarctica...).</span><br />

Dive team getting ready to dive in Hangar Cove. I took this photo while covering seal watch for them ( = making sure that no leopard seals are in the area). Unfortunately, diving is still off for me for maybe another week: While there are several divers here who could accompany me, I need to do the first dive here as a check-out dive with the Rothera Diving Officer - who unfortunately injured her foot when jogging last Sunday. This recreational accident may now delay my diving work by as much as over a week. <br />
I am trying to fill this time with other sensible, non-diving activities, but the main reason why I am here is clearly diving-based research.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Today, I revisited Leonie Island, the island with the
highest peak (455 m) in Ryder Bay and very conspicuous from Rothera Point. I
had previously visited Leonie on Jan. 10, 2011, together with Julia Kleinteich,
sampling cyanobacterial mats. On that occasion, I had come across a copper seam
in a cliff about 30 m above the high water line – when hiking across the NE
coast of Leonie with Julia that day, a blue-green rock face had struck my
attention. I suspected that this was malachite, i.e. copper ore, which was
later confirmed in the lab. Interestingly and despite the well-known, high
toxicity of copper, there was something growing on it – an orange lichen and a
green alga, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Prasiola</i> sp.! I realized
that this was something unusual and collected samples of both the alga and the blue
rock. My friend Akira Peters (Roscoff) subsequently managed to isolate this
alga in live culture – in fact, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Prasiola</i>
had been considered unculturable until then. In the meantime, analyses in Marl,
Germany, had revealed that the rock was indeed malachite. A very successful MSc
project of Julie Zedler in the lab of my brother <a href="http://webserver.umbr.cas.cz/~kupper/AG_Kuepper_Homepage.html">Hendrik </a>(then
still at the University of Konstanz, Germany) followed, using Akira’s isolate
of this interesting organism, which revealed that the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Prasiola</i> living on the malachite surface on Leonie Island was unusually
resistant to copper.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">I now attempted to revisit this site and to re-collect
both <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Prasiola</i> and rock samples. In
particular, we wanted to obtain live material from its natural environment in
order to study the localization of copper in its cells, and also to look at
stress-related gene expression.</span></div>

Enough of this prologue: Today was the day to return to Leonie, after 7 years!
Again, a RHIB was launched at Rothera’s Biscoe Wharf. We had to wait a bit
since an iceberg was sitting in the water beneath the wharf, but with a wait of
about half an hour, it drifted away. Today, I was heading to Leonie Island
together with Matt Davey (Univ. Cambridge), Andrew Gray (NERC Field Spectroscopy
Facility, Edinburgh) and Christine Batchelor (Scott Polar Research Institute,
Cambridge). We reached the island after an approx. 45 min boat ride, slightly
slowed down by a lot of drifting ice on the water. On the shore of Leonie, an
inquisitive and friendly young Weddell seal greeted us. Arrived on the island,
we parted – Matt and Andrew headed south to re-visit patches of snow algae,
whereas Christine and I headed northwest to find the copper seam. It was quite
difficult terrain for walking – either loose rocks or snowfields in which we
kept sinking in to our knees. And we were rather overdressed – we were wearing
snow pants to stay dry, but with the hard effort of walking in this terrain, we
were transpiring a lot. We finally found the copper seam, which is very
conspicuous on a cliff face. But – there was no <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Prasiola</i> this time, only the orange lichen. Were we too early in
the season? Had it been to cold or to dry for the algae to develop? While a
negative result is also a result for a scientist, I decided to come back later
during my visit – after all, I had another 4 ½ weeks at Rothera ahead of me. We
returned to the shore, where the boat picked us up shortly afterwards. We
circled Leonie once on the water – which brought home to us that only around ¼ of
Leonie is ice-free, whereas ¾ are covered by snow and ice – a glacier several
tens of meters thick, even on this rather small island.</span></div>

that I will be co-piloting a Twin Otter resupply flight to Fossil Bluff
tomorrow! That's an approx. 2 hr flight to a field site and re-supply depot
south of here on Alexander Island, along the west side of the Antarctic
Peninsula. I had been very much looking forward to this opportunity, which
should be a highlight of the whole trip - ironically, this has become possible
also because I have not been diving during the last few days (the risk of
de-compression illness would otherwise preclude flights on non-pressurized
aircraft). Stay tuned.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">HAPPY NEW YEAR from Antarctica! I have now been here
for exactly one week, after leaving Punta Arenas, Chile, on Christmas Day. We
had a lovely Christmas dinner immediately after landing here. Like during my
previous trip to Rothera in Dec. 2010-Jan. 2011, I bailed out from the party at
about 10.30 pm and went for a hike around Rothera Point (the peninsula on which
the base is built – since it is one of the few places in the area of a
relatively even surface which is partly ice-free) under the midnight sun. I
very much enjoy the serenity of the polar environment, together with watching
active wildlife at this time of the night. And the light of the midnight sun
(with a higher proportion of the “red” part of the spectrum compared to
mid-day) makes everything illuminated in it even more pretty. Indeed, these
walks under the midnight sun have become an important part of my daily activity
cycle here – also because I find it very difficult to simply go to sleep in the
evening when there is still intense sunlight outside.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">All of the mandatory inductions which one has to do
before being allowed to start any work in Antarctica are now behind me, and
serious work (yes, diving!) should start soon... maybe as early as tomorrow
hopefully. I had deliberately timed my arrival around Christmas so that I would
not lose any real work time for these lengthy inductions, but also for having a
few days to acclimatize and to simply enjoy the beautiful nature here. One
issue that we need to sort out is that the RRS James Clark Ross (nicknamed
"JCR") which was meant to bring most of a year's worth of supplies to
Rothera (including my 2 boxes with scientific and diving equipment) couldn't
get here - too much sea ice (even though it is an ice-strengthened vessel)!! It
had to return to the Falkland Islands where part of its cargo (including my
equipment) were reloaded onto the HMS Protector, a stronger ice breaker of the
Royal Navy, which is meant to get here at some point next week... but there
should be some spare dry suits and dive equipment at the Bonner Lab.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">I should write a bit about the training and inductions
that one has to do when arriving in Antarctica. They include communications on
and off base, living and working around aircraft, personal management in the
polar environment, field meteorological observations, life and work in
deep-field sites, field medical box training, vehicle operation, and an
induction of the Bonner Marine Lab. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The latter is named after Nigel Bonner (1928-1994),
one of the founding fathers of Antarctic marine mammal biology<a href="file:///I:/Rothera/2018%2001%2001%20blog.docx" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue;">[1]</span></span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>. I fondly remember
personally meeting Bonner at the first scientific conference that I attended in
my life – which was the 1991 SCAR (Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research)
Conference in Bremen, which was just a few weeks after graduating from high
school (at 19 years of age, I was the youngest participant!) due to my already
then strong enthusiasm for Antarctic science. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span class="hascaption"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Life in Antarctica is not
only about seals, penguins, diving, flying and beautiful scenery like from
another world... a base like this (currently housing 55 people, less than half
its full capacity) also needs to be fed and kept clean! While there is a
kitchen staff of 3, they are supplemented by the gash rota system, i.e.
everyone else needs to help out with cleaning jobs one day every 6 weeks or so.
I had my day of gash on Dec. 30 – I had deliberately asked to do it early on
during my stay here, since the delayed arrival of my equipment means that I
will be very busy and time will be a premium once it finally gets here.</span></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Food on base is very good. The chefs are clearly
highly skilled and motivated – it is obvious that good food makes a big
difference for morale of scientists and staff in such a place. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">During the last afternoon of the year 2017, I hiked to
the Caboose, a cabin on sledges on the glacier beneath Reptile Ridge. This is
part of the “local travel area” which we are allowed to access on foot, skis,
or with a snow mobile without being accompanied by a field guide. The area is
clearly marked by a flag line and is big enough for a nice hike or a bit of
cross-country skiing for a couple of hours. Going uphill, it took me 2 hours to
get there. When reaching the Caboose, I rested for about 30 min, before heading
back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">And then, it was the New Year’s Eve party! The
organizers had chosen to hold it in the boat shed near the Biscoe Wharf, which
was a great idea. Rothera is arguably one of the coolest places (literally) on
Planet Earth for such a party. Shortly before midnight, we all ascended Cross
Hill above the buildings of the base (the site of the memorial for scientists
and staff who have perished while working at Rothera over the years)<a href="file:///I:/Rothera/2018%2001%2001%20blog.docx" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue;">[2]</span></span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a> where we welcomed 2018
under a beautiful midnight sun setting. At 0 am, we hugged each other,
exchanged wishes and stayed for a few minutes enjoying the awesome scenery –
before heading either to bed or to the bar in the New Bransfield House.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

A relaxing day in Punta Arenas, Patagonia - Chile's southernmost city, literally at the southern tip of the American continent... this was not planned as I was meant to fly from here to Rothera Research Station in Antarctica this morning. But there was a backlog of a group of scientists who were meant to fly on the same route and plane, a Canadian-built 4-engine Dash 7, days ago, and who were grounded here due to weather conditions preventing any flights to Rothera, who had priority on today's flight.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was a long trip from northern Scotland to Punta Arenas! I left home in Newburgh, Aberdeenshire, on a sunny winter morning, and I flew from Aberdeeen to London Heathrow. From there, an 11-hour overnight flight took me and a small team from the British Antarctic Survey to Sao Paulo - Guarulhos. After few hours on the ground in Brazil, we reached Santiago de Chile after another 4 1/2 hour flight. I always ask for window seats, and it was again worthwhile this time: I got very scenic views of southern Brazil, southern Paraguay and northern Argentina - especially of the Paraná River, the desert region of northern Argentina around Mendoza, and then the Andes. At that point, the aircraft had started its descent into Santiago SCL, which meant that some of the Andean summits around us were higher than the plane...</div>

We landed in Santiago in early summer, in a sweltering 27°C in the overcrowded <span class="st">Arturo Merino Benítez Airport (SCL). After a lunch of pizza and fries, we were in the air again for 3 h, this time on the way to Punta Arenas (PUQ).</span><br />

The flight from Santiago to Punta Arenas is one of the most scenic flights that I have ever taken - provided that one has a window seat on the left hand side on the southbound flight and a cloudless skies. I had flown that route 11 years earlier, on January 6, 2007, during my first expedition to this part of the world, when I was lucky on both counts and got amazing views and photos of the Andean peaks and glaciers caving into the Pacific fjords of southern Chile. Yesterday and with these images passing by again, memories from that day made me quite sad, considering that two of the participants of the 2007 expedition, Helga Mueller and my mother, had passed away in recent years.</div>

The BAS Dash-7 which will carry us to Antarctica as soon as weather will be permitting</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
In Punta Arenas, <span class="st">we were greeted by an icy wind and </span>10°C.
The only further activity today was the mandatory pre-flight safety
briefing before the flight on the BAS Dash-7, a sturdy 4-engine,
Canadian-built aircraft which has been maintaining the air link between
Rothera Research Station and either Punta Arenas or the outside world
for many years. Very tired from 2 solid days of flying and traveling, we
fell into our beds for some much-needed sleep.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
morning we learned that even though the Dash-7 would fly to Rothera
today, we wouldn't be on it. The reason was a backlog of scientific
passengers who were meant to fly to Rothera during the previous days,
but who couldn't fly due to weather conditions. Given that the aircraft
has only 8 passenger seats and a large cargo bay, those who had been
waiting here were given priority on today's flight, and the plane would
likely return tonight and hopefully fly us to Rothera tomorrow.</div>

That
meant a relaxing day of resting and sightseeing in Punta Arenas! Since
my 2007 visit here, the city has had a bit of a facelift, and it has
clearly become more of a posh tourist destination. Matt Davey remembered
a very nice, historic hotel, bar and restaurant in the center of town -
Shackleton's Bar (Shackleton's famous expedition had come through Punta
Arenas). We had a lovely lunch there and, as a highlight, had a
surprise meeting with Cherry Brickle, mother of my long-time friend Dr.
Paul Brickle, Director of the South Atlantic Environmental Research
Institute in Stanley, Falkland Islands (which will be the last stopover
of my present trip in February). Cherry is presently stranded in Punta
Arenas - there is only one weekly flight to the Falklands...<br />

Monument of Magellan in the central square of Punta Arenas.<span class=" UFICommentActorAndBody"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"> The native's toe (see the shiny brass of the statue at the base) apparently has a spell which keeps every traveler who touches it in Punta Arenas... I did this during a previous trip from here to the Falklands in early 2007 - and the flight was doomed: The aircraft was
within 5 m of the ground in the Falklands but couldn't land due to high
cross winds... it made an emergency re-ascent and had to divert to
Argentina for refueling since it wouldn't have enough kerosene to fly
back to Chile... where we were grounded until the wind conditions in the
Falklands eased. ...so I have avoided touching or kissing it this time...</span></span></span></div>

Saturday, Dec. 23, 2017<br />
<br />
No luck - weather conditions at Rothera were still reported to be unforgiving for any attempt to fly there. Another day grounded in Punta. This is what it means traveling to Antarctica!<br />
<br />
Matt, Derek and I had a little walk around town - I then had lunch again at Shackleton's Bar, before spending the rest of the day in my hotel room working on a funding proposal.<br />
<br />
And in the evening - back to Shackleton's Bar, for dinner and some Chardonnay...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sunday, Dec. 24<br />
<br />
The morning briefing by the Dash-7 pilots did not bring the desired news - weather along the flight path to Antarctica was still too poor today. One more day in Punta - Christmas Eve. Back to proposal writing, and the daily walk to Shackleton's Bar for lunch.<br />
<br />
Then, in the afternoon, the much-awaited news: Weather on the way to "our" part of Antarctica was finally improvement, and we should be ready for flying tomorrow morning! Hooray. <br />
<br />
Matt and I were planning for an early Xmas dinner tonight - but we would keep it light, we have to be fit tomorrow morning!<br />

In the end, we had a lovely, light Christmas dinner. For Marlin, the diver sitting next to me, this would be the last dinner in civilization until March 2019! And, amazingly, the two pilots of the Dash-7 still remembered me from my Antarctic trip in 2010-2011. Not only that, they even remembered the contents of the seminar that I had given at Rothera then! Where else in the world would you get that...<br />

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Finally we are in the air! During the pilots’ briefing at 8
am this morning, the forecast of very good weather along the western side of
the Antarctic Peninsula was confirmed. We had half hour for finishing breakfast
– since we had been pre-alerted the night before that the flight might finally
happen this morning, luggage was already mostly ready.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">A handling agent who came to the hotel collected our
passports and cleared emigration formalities for us. A minivan drove us to the airport.
After passing security and a short wait, we boarded the Dash-7. A total of 7
passengers, 2 pilots and 1 flight engineer. This aircraft was built in 1988,
but it is still going very strong due to an overall low number of flying hours
and, as one of the pilots told me during my visit to the flight deck, it can
probably still fly for another 50 years. The trouble is getting spare parts for
such an old and increasingly rare model. BAS has opted to stay with the de
Havilland Canada Dash-7 due to its sturdiness, but also in particular its STOL
(short take-off / landing) capability, making it suitable for the short gravel
runway at Rothera which not many other models can handle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">A very smooth, almost 5 hr flight, and I was able to visit
the pilots in the flight deck for about an hour and chat with them. I love
flying, anywhere in the world, and I have always been fascinated by aircraft.
Lots of thoughts and emotions are going through my mind on this flight. What
has happened in the world and in my life since I last was in Antarctica in
early 2011, from where I left with the same pilots, on the same aircraft… while
I was in Antarctica last time, the Arab Spring started and the wars in Syria
and Yemen broke out. I have become a professor at Aberdeen, my mother had
passed away, I bought a home… the presently unfolding disaster of BREXIT had
been unimaginable back then… as was a President Donald Trump! But also, the
world community has become more sincere than ever before in reigning in
man-made climate change, some of the effects of which I am about to study in
Antarctica – the Paris Agreement has been signed, and even Trump won’t be able
to revert that any more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

We saw the thick belt of sea ice that had prevented the RRS James Clark Ross (until now the UK’s largest polar research vessel) from getting to Rothera in recent weeks. On it – my dive equipment and research supplies which I had sent from Aberdeen in early August, and which had not arrived at Rothera yet!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #5c5c5c; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I
am Angela Bartolo, a Maltese scientist who has just embarked on a new adventure
of starting my PhD in Marine Biology at the University of Aberdeen. My PhD is focused
on DNA barcoding of macroalgae. The first survey of my PhD has just been
completed this June 2017 in sunny Malta, Gozo and Comino. It consisted of an
intense 2.5 weeks of scientific diving (divers: Frithjof C. Kuper and Eleni
Kytinou) as well as late nights of lab work as well as morning work preparations
together with Akira F. Peters, Frithjof and Eleni. This expedition also
included transects for Eleni’s PhD in marine food webs since both Eleni and
myself have just started our PhDs. This research expedition included Frithjof,
Eleni, Akira and myself, however we found lots of help from family and friends
in Malta who took us around the island by boat. </span></div>

postdocs together in </span><a href="http://www.chem.ucsb.edu/people/alison-butler"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Alison Butler’s lab at UC Santa Barbara</span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, while he had collaborated with
Tatsuo on iodine-related research<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=47406135893684361#_edn1" name="_ednref1" style="mso-endnote-id: edn1;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%;">[i]</span></span></span></span></a>.
Eleni followed 2 days later – Tatsuo and Frithjof were waiting for her at
Narita Airport, and after a quick visit to Tatsuo’s beautiful house and garden
in Chiba, we were met in Tokyo by </span><a href="http://www.falkland-penguin.com/"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Mikako Inada (Saito), a documentary film maker specialized in penguins </span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">whom Frithjof had befriended in the
Falkland Islands back in 2010. Mika was an excellent guide – we spent the first
evening dining together in Ginza. The night was very short – we got up at about
1.30 am for being in time for the tuna auction at the Tsukiji fish market. We
had to wait for around 3 h until we were let into the auction. Outside the
auction hall was a frenzy of trucks, forklifts and traders rushing around.
Inside were around 1,000 deep-frozen tunas (mostly Bluefin) from around the
world. Within around half an hour, the auction was over – a typical price for a
Bluefin tuna was around US$ 10,000. This auction is held 3 times weekly. No
surprise fewer and fewer top predators are left in the world’s seas – as even
the tuna trader, who gave an English-language introduction to us prior to the
event, had to admit. After the auction, we headed back to our hotel for another
2 h of much-needed sleep before a day of sightseeing around Tokyo – the
Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines of Asakusa, and then a cruise down the
Sumida River to the Odaiba district, which is built on reclaimed land in Tokyo
Bay. All this in beautiful spring weather – it was Sakura (cherry blossom)
season! In the evening, we saw the illuminated cherry blossom around the
Imperial Palace, followed by our farewell dinner from Mika and Tatsuo.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The next day, we re-visited the Tsukiji fish market – this time the
Inner and Outer Market. Pretty much everything in terms of marine animal
diversity on the planet is on sale here. We then visited Yasukuni, the Shinto
shrine where Japan’s war dead area honored (the shrine has repeatedly caused
controversy with neighboring Asian countries, since the enshrined include
convicted WW II war criminals – especially when it was visited by Japanese
leading politicians). After a bit of rest, we headed to Narita Airport, where
we met up with </span><a href="https://www.mcdb.ucsb.edu/people/faculty/morse"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Dan and Aileen Morse</span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, who had been traveling around
Japan for around a week – Frithjof had been friends with Dan and Aileen ever
since they met in Roscoff in late summer 1999, when he helped them collect the
red alga <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Asparagopsis</i> by snorkeling. Dan,
Aileen and Frithjof had been discussing about a trip to Palau since around 2010
– Dan and Aileen had been working in Palau since the 1980s, almost a decade
before this former US Territory became independent in 1994. They had been
trying to develop a project (and, critically, to find grant funding) for a
project on the mollusk-algal symbiosis since 2015. The trip finally came to
reality when during Frithjof’s latest trip to California in December 2016, he
visited them in Santa Barbara and they decided during their first evening
together “now or never – we live only once – let’s go”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">And here we were, at Tokyo’s Narita Airport, boarding a flight to Palau…
after 5 hours in the air, we landed at the small island country’s only airport
about 1 am. A driver waited for us and took us to our accommodation. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After sleeping in the next morning to catch up on missed sleep after 3
short nights, we met at the Aquarium of PICRC (Palau International Coral Reef
Center) and discussed plans and arrangements. Travelling independently, we were
joined by Neal Hooker, long-time group member of Dan’s and Aileen’s lab (and
friends with Frithjof since December 2000), Dan’s cousin </span><a href="https://eohsi.rutgers.edu/eohsi-directory/name/michael-gochfeld/"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Michael Gochfeld</span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, an environmental toxicologist and
ornithologis and his wife </span><a href="http://lifesci.dls.rutgers.edu/~burger/"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Joanna Burger</span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, ornithologist and behavioral ecologist at
Rutgers University, as well as Dan’s former grad student, Danny deMartini and
his wife Caitlin.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Since everybody was still quite tired, we decided not to go diving or
snorkeling, but had an excursion inland on Palau’s big island, Babeldaob. We
explored the Ngardok Nature Reserve and were fascinated by the abundance of
pitcher plants, clubmosses (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lycopodium</i>
sp.) and orchids – with large fruit bats flying above us. A bit further on, we
reached Palau’s parliament in its capital, Melekeok (which consists only of the
government buildings, nothing else), via a lengthy dirt track through the
jungle – we figured later that this was due to poor signposting, there was
indeed a more convenient, paved road… The parliament and other government
buildings, with Greek columns and neoclassicist architecture, were modelled
upon the US Capitol in Washington DC. We were particularly amused by depictions
of the Money Bird (Delerrok) on the walls of the Palau capitol. Back in the
capital, Koror, a magnificent Indian dinner at the Taj followed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The next day, we got into the sea! Dan had arranged for a boat with
skipper from PICRC, who took us to one of Palau’s many spectacular marine
lakes. On the way, we stopped at a WW II Japanese gun emplacement and a resting
site of sea snakes (which Dan had found during a previous trip) – but the
snakes were obviously away (at sea). (They subsequently made appearances for
Joanna – seeing one stretched-out sunning at full length, of nearly 2 meters!)
and for Dan – when they wee apparently mating.) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The marine lake was mostly surrounded by one
of the famous Rock Islands, except for a small exit channel to the surrounding
sea. Indeed, a very unique ecosystem – a coral reef community in the marine
lake, and dense tropical rain forest on the Rock Island around it. The input of
terrestrial biomass, wood and leaf litter, combined with very tranquil waters
created very special conditions. We spent several hours snorkeling and were
totally left in awe. After lunch on the boat, we went to another marine lake
site closer to Koror and PICRC, for another round of snorkeling with a large
abundance of fish and many <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tridacna
crocea</i> (boring clams) in coral blocks and lime stone in shallow waters.
Giant (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tridacna gigas</i>) and boring
clams (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">T. crocea</i>) have an amazing
diversity of brilliantly colored patterns. The origins and functions of these
colors has been a very successful research area in Dan’s lab for years. These
colors are not due to pigments, but entirely due to the reflective properties
of membranes in the clam mantle tissue. The greater proportion of the light,
however, is not reflected, but directed (via a process called Mie forward
scattering) deeper into the clam tissue where it </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">exposes symbiotic microalgae with photosynthetically
active light</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The next day, we explored two more sites in the southern, outer lagoon
by snorkeling – Ulong Channel and south of Ulong Island. The reefs
that we encountered there and very much throughout the entire trip were in
excellent shape, with close to 100% cover by healthy corals and no trace of
coral bleaching. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">10 days of intense scuba diving followed. Some of the sites visited have
a mythical reputation among scuba divers throughout the world – including Blue
Corner and Blue Hole. Again, the large diversity of marine life in nearly
pristine coral reef systems was stunning. Eleni managed to conduct a large
number of transects for her PhD, and Frithjof collected numerous substratum
samples, which are now being incubated for algal isolation work by Akira. Particularly
useful for Eleni’s studies was the large abundance of top predators, testimony
to the absence of intense fishing pressures</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On several occasions, we came across traces of the dramatic events of
World War II in Palau – one day, we dived at a Japanese ship wreck west of
Babeldaob Island which had been sunk by American forces. On another occasion,
on an afternoon snorkeling and kayak excursion around Koror, we found the wreck
of a Japanese Zero fighter aircraft in very shallow water! Close to the one of
the entrance channels towards PICRC and Koror, we came past a Japanese gun
emplacement. Some of our dive sites (e.g. Blue Corner) were close to Peleliu
Island, which was heavily fought over between Japanese forces and U.S. Marines,
resulting in one of the worst losses of life (> 20,000) on a single island
in the Pacific War. Given what a peaceful place Palau now is, it is hard to
imagine what occurred in and around these islands 73 years ago.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Thank you, Dan, for organizing such a marvelous expedition, and thanks
to you, Aileen, Neal, Danny, Caitlin, Joanna and Mike, for being such a
pleasant team! We will be working hard on the follow-up work in the lab back home
to make it a success.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I am Eleni Kytinou, a Greek
marine biologist invited to join this expedition mainly for diving support of
the research. At the same time I am starting my PhD, focused on marine food
webs. The first part of our trip is just completed, after spending five
wonderful days in the underwater world of this South Atlantic Island.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The terrestrial part of this very
special volcanic island is quite dry, steep and with little indigenous
vegetation but the landscape is completely different when you have a look under
the sea surface. At first sight underwater, there was so much action taking
place out there, that you couldn’t decide where to focus on. </div>

During many dives we encountered<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span>green turtles. During some snorkeling
close to their main nesting sand beach (Long Beach, north of Georgetown) we
were surrounded by five of these wonderful animals. They examined us thoroughly
and swam away... </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We also recorded some very
interesting rhodolith beds, which are a typical feature of Ascension’s
infralittoral:</div>

I am writing these lines in mid-air between Ascension Island
and the Falklands, after 4 days in Ascension. After a 3-year absence, I am back
to the South Atlantic! This flight of almost 9 h, in a high-flying jet aircraft
(an RAF A330 Voyager, a military version of the A330 capable of in-air
refuelling, troop / passenger and cargo transport as well as medevac purposes)
always reminds me of how little of the Earth’s surface is suitable for human
activities. During this flight, one doesn’t see any other aircraft or ships –
only sky and water in any variation!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
The little volcanic island of Ascension has intrigued my
curiosity and inspiration ever since I first heard about it from my friend in
Dublin, Margaret Casey, in early 1989 (whose brother had been deployed to the
island as a meteorologist). On the map it resembles a speck of dust in the
middle of nowhere of a very big ocean or, to be a bit more precise, it is about
half-way between Angola and Brazil, in the South Atlantic Ocean.</div>

My friends Kostas Tsiamis, Aldo Asensi and I had compiled an
<a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-the-marine-biological-association-of-the-united-kingdom/article/div-classtitlemarine-benthic-algal-flora-of-ascension-island-south-atlanticdiv/7B21FAA827879B4FE24589260C8144FB">inventory
of Ascension’s marine plants</a>, based on the collections from our 4 previous
visits in 2011 – 2013. I have now returned to the island, accompanied by 2 dear
friends, Eleni Kytinou (Athens) and Akira Peters (Roscoff). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We spent our 4 days in Ascension with diving, hiking on
Green Mountain and shore-based collections. Eleni and I had 4 very long,
fantastic dives at Comfortless Cove, the east side of Triangles / English Bay,
Pan Am Bay / Portland Point and also Georgetown Harbour. Our visit coincided
with the egg-laying season of the Green Turtles (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Chelonia mydas</i>), which meant that we saw many of them during our
dives, but also at night on Long Beach (just outside Georgetown, Ascension’s
capital). Ascension has recently attracted a shoal of <a href="https://www.blogger.com/Carcharhinus%20galapagensis">Galapagos Sharks </a>which tend to linger
around Georgetown Harbour expecting to be fed by the St. Helenian fishermen
gutting tuna and other catch. During our night time dive in the harbour and
bay, one such shark approached me from behind, sniffing out my left hand and yellow
collection bag – I did not notice any of this, but Eleni did. Since all this
was too fast and too dramatic to be captured by camera, she drew an image of
the scene by hand:</div>

Eleni intended to trial a new visual survey technique which
she had developed for her work in Greece, counting fish along a transect. The
challenge in Ascension was the exceptionally high density of fish, including
those quite high up in the food web like groupers! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
On our last day (when we did not go diving in order to
decompress before our long onward flight to the Falklands) we conducted some
terrestrial sampling for my friend and colleague <a href="https://www.abdn.ac.uk/sbs/people/profiles/s.woodward">Prof. Steve
Woodward </a>at the University of Aberdeen (for studying soil-borne fungal
diversity). We hiked Green Mountain and visited parts of the coastal desert
near North-East Bay and Cross Hill. Green Mountain is a lush oasis on a
mountaintop in the midst of a very hot and dry volcanic desert island. Its
famous cloud forest goes back to a suggestion by Charles Darwin, who visited
Ascension on the last leg of his epic voyage – the garrison of Royal Marines on
the island, initially established to prevent escape or rescue attempts of
Napoleon from St. Helena, was struggling with a constant shortage of water.
Darwin had the idea that rainfall on Ascension could be enhanced by planting a
forest, using trees from a variety of tropical countries around the world. The
idea worked, and within a few decades, a totally artificial cloud forest
established itself from the sapling sent there by the botanic gardens at Kew
and Stellenbosch. Of course this would be illegal today – swamping an island
with non-native plants and see which ones become established, while driving
native plants into extinction! But it remains a fascinating and unique
geoengineering experiment – and Green Mountain is a refreshing getaway, especially
during the present hot season in Ascension.</div>

Led by Dr. Martin Sayer (NFSD) and myself, the team (which
also included Elaine Azzopardi and Andrew Mogg from NFSD / SAMS) has been
working with Vivian Louizidou (PhD student at Oceanlab / University of Aberdeen
and Hellenic Centre for Marine Research), conducting deep diving operations up
to 55 m depth, exploring the poorly known communities of maerl (coralline red
algae) and associated organisms. Conducting scientific work – sampling, surveys
and photography - at such depth required careful planning with larger than
usual air cylinders, independent bail-out cylinders and extra air staged for
the decompression stops.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All diving was
conducted using a bottom-reel to ensure that the divers always found their way
back to the decompression lines. In total, 46 person-dives requiring staged
decompression were completed without incident.</div>

The biodiversity and ecology of such communities in the
Eastern Mediterranean has been rarely explored. Most of the existing studies
had been conducted by bottom grabs or trawling, sometimes also by remotely
operated vehicles (ROVs) – but rarely by divers. Scientific diving has a range
of advantages – I consider that the major one is to place a thinking scientist
in the midst of the site or community that he is studying. Scientific diving is
also less intrusive and destructive than sampling by bottom grabs or trawling –
and, in most cases, also more cost effective than the use of a larger research
vessel.</div>

The team managed to conduct extensive collections and
photographic surveys, enabling a range of laboratory studies in the nearer
future including the taxonomy of calcifying and other algae, their growth rates
and contribution to carbon sequestration, and community ecology. The surveys
revealed the presence of a number of alien invasive species, including
fireworms, the red seaweed <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Womersleyella</i>
and 3 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Caulerpa</i> species (several of
which are considered among the worst invaders of the Mediterranean). While they
were known to impact shallow-water communities in the Eastern Mediterranean,
the surveys conducted by the team suggest that their impacts are likely
profound also in the low-light and colder-water, deeper communities.</div>

On our last day and with all scientific objectives
accomplished, Savvas Hatzinikolaou (from whom we had rented the boat and part
of the equipment) took us diving around his fish farm near Makri Island off the
SW coast of Rhodes. Since its establishment in the early 1990, the site has
been off limits for fishing and, in consequence, has become a safe haven for
some large marine life: dolphins, yellowfin tuna, and large rays. As we dived
under the large fish cages, we were lucky enough to see 5 yellowfin tuna close
up and a resting ray with > 2 m wing span on the seabed – a closure to our
dive mission, as spectacular as the deep diving!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
I am very grateful to the wonderful team – <span lang="EL" style="mso-ansi-language: EL;">ευχαριστώ</span><span lang="EL"> </span><span lang="EL" style="mso-ansi-language: EL;">πολύ</span><span lang="EL"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">to</span> Martin, Elaine and Andy
for the diving, to Savvas for logistics support, and to Vivian and her mother Irini
for most other aspects of working in Rhodes and their great hospitality. I had
previously worked <a href="http://www.sams.ac.uk/expeditions/baffin-island-expedition">with Martin
and Elaine in the Canadian Arctic</a> and around Oban, Scotland – we are
currently planning a new mission to the Arctic, and to return to Greece next
year. To be continued – watch this space.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
This year saw the 2<sup>nd</sup> edition of our
international field course, which we had launched last year (<a href="http://www.algae-group.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/marine-phycology-course-in-greece-april.html">http://www.algae-group.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/marine-phycology-course-in-greece-april.html</a>).
Energized by the success of the first one, we managed to run it over 10 days
(with a relaxing weekend for explorations of the island in between), for
undergraduate and graduate students from both Aberdeen (6) and Mytilini (16).
Lecture subjects were an Introduction to Phycology, Molecular Biology and
Bioinformatics for Algal Research, Algal Ecology, Algal Pathogens, Seaweeds of
Polar Regions, Invasive Seaweeds, Sea Grasses, Algal Culturing (and the
Germling Emergence Method) as well as Seaweed Mariculture. Frithjof Kuepper, Alexandra
Mystikou & Kyle Fletcher from the Algae Group gave lectures together with
Akira Peters and Kostas Tsiamis.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During the first week of the course, we visited 3 field
sites for surveys and collections from the shore or by snorkelling, which also
provided a large range of materials for subsequent practicals in the
well-equipped lab of the Marine Science Department at the University of the
Aegean.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During the second week, we conducted two day-long field
trips including very attractive scuba dives, exploring unspoilt seagrass
meadows (a prime example for blue carbon sequestration!), Cystoseira forests,
sea urchin barrens, a small sea cave and a site dominated by alien / invasive
seaweeds (due to insurance reasons, this can at present only be offered to
Greek students – the local Marine Science Department has a very active
students’ dive unit) – one by boat from Plomari along the scenic south coast
towards Panagia Kryfti and Cape Agios Fokas, and another one by car to the
beautiful bay of Agios Ermogenis. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Student responses (we conducted a survey at the end of the
last lecturing day) were enthusiastic, even though some of the feedback forms
received suggested offering fewer lectures and more field work (which will be
taken on board if there is a future edition of the course). Mytilini has a very
attractive cultural and night life for students (while being very affordable by
any standards), and it seems that strong bonds have formed among several of the
course participants and faculty.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lesvos with its capital of Mytilini is a very beautiful,
largely unspoilt island, with an interesting diversity of coastal marine
habitats within easy reach including sandy and pebble beaches, extensive
seagrass meadows, sandy and rocky bottom, pristine / climax <i>Cystoseira</i> forests, sea urchin barrens, other
sites dominated by invasive seaweeds (<i>Caulerpa
racemosa</i> and <i>Stypopodium schimperi</i>)
as well as 2 large inlets, the Gulfs of Geras and Kalloni, both with extensive
salt marshes and a number of mariculture facilities. Besides an active marine
science department at the host institution, the University of the Aegean, Lesvos
has also been repeatedly visited for seaweed-related research by two of the
course faculty (FCK and Kostas Tsiamis) in recent years.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also on land, the island of Lesvos is an interesting and
attractive place. With historic sites from the Ancient Greeks and Romans to the
Byzantines and Ottomans, mountain villages conserving their traditional
culture, vast olive groves (most of which operating with organic farming
methods), internationally significant bird breeding and overwintering sites,
large forests, a petrified forest (unique in Europe), Lesvos has a lot more to
offer than an exciting marine environment. Turkey / Asia Minor is within sight
and easy reach for a day trip.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our thanks go to our host, Dr. Maria Karadanelli-Kostopoulou,
who organized much of local access to facilities at the University of the
Aegean, accommodation and local student enrolment, and who extended her
hospitality to 2 of the faculty in her home despite a very heavy workload on
other fronts.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are very grateful to the EU ERASMUS program (managed by
the British Council) for funding the travel expenses of 3 teaching staff from
Aberdeen (FCK, AM and KF), without which this endeavour would not have been
possible either. This helped to keep the cost to participating students within
very tolerable limits - we did not need to charge a participation fee, since
there was no requirement to support travel of faculty and no charge by our
Greek hosts at the University of the Aegean for use of facilities (which is
even more admirable considering the dire funding situation for higher education
in Greece). Also, compared to other field courses on offer at the University of
Aberdeen (especially for study areas in
the UK or USA), travel to Mytilini and almost every other aspect of the course
are very inexpensive for students and faculty alike due to the availability of
direct charter flights and the generally low cost of accommodation, food and
local transportation on Lesvos Island. The international study environment
(with faculty from the UK, Greece, Germany and France and students from the UK,
Greece and Chile) was an added plus.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are also grateful to the Hellenic Phycological Society (<span lang="EL">ΕΛΦΕ</span>)<span lang="EN-US"> and the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research
(HCMR / E</span><span lang="EL">ΛΚΕΘΕ</span>)<span lang="EN-US"> for their support.</span><br />
<br />
Finally, we
would like to express our gratitude to the students of this course, without
whose enthusiasm this endeavor would be much less rewarding or even pointless.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
We very much hope that we will be able to repeat this course
and that it can ideally become a regular, annual or biannual constituent of the
curricula at Aberdeen and Mytilini. Indeed, we have received a strong
expression of interest from the University of Konstanz (Germany) to participate
in future sequels of the course, which would make it a trinational event.<o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Three diving marine
scientists from the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR) came to Scotland
for a 10-day trip in order to explore the hitherto-unknown seaweed communities
of the Loch Linnhe Artificial Reef in western Scotland (July 19-29). The
project was hosted by the <a href="http://www.nfsd.org.uk/">UK National
Facility for Scientific Diving</a> (NFSD), headed by Dr. Martin Sayer. Maria
Salomidi, Kostas Tsiamis and Vasilis Gerakaris flew to Aberdeen, where they
visited Frithjof at Oceanlab and in his home overlooking the Ythan Estuary.
After one night there, they hit the long road from Aberdeen to the scenic West
Highlands. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Loch Linnhe
Artificial Reef was built between 1998-2006, led by Martin Sayer and Tom
Wilding at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, in cooperation with
Foster Yeoman Ltd, operators of the Glensanda quarry in Morvern (<a href="http://www.sams.ac.uk/tom-wilding/overview-artificial-reef">http://www.sams.ac.uk/tom-wilding/overview-artificial-reef</a>
). This large “superquarry” produces agglomeration for worldwide exports. This
operation produces a fine powder as byproduct, which has no commercial value.
In the late 1990s, this led to the idea of using it in a mixture with concrete
for producing a type of breeze block-like elements which would be deployed in
piles (termed “modules”) on the seabed of Loch Linnhe east of the Isle of
Lismore. The rationale was that this would enhance structural diversity in a low-diversity
soft-sediment area, resulting in locally increased biodiversity, standing stock
of biota – in particular also of species of commercial interest. Even though
the animal biodiversity and ecology, hydrology, biogeochemistry and other
aspects of the reef had formed the centre of interest so far, no studies at all
had considered the seaweeds of the reef.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The team managed to
conduct a total of 25 diving operations, exploring the seaweed communities of
the artificial reef from around 27 to 10 m depth and at natural reefs from 18 m
to the surface. The wreck of the Breda, sunk in WW II by German bombers, was
also surveyed – de facto it is an artificial reef which has been in the sea for
over 70 years. The team was incredibly lucky with the weather: During the week
of diving, the sea was flat calm and the sky mostly cloudless. Temperatures
reached a record high ever recorded for Oban.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A total of around 50
seaweed species were recorded. It was also observed that on all except the
modules > 20 m deep, seaweed standing stock exceeded animal standing stock
by a large margin. Seaweed specimens were conserved on herbarium sheets; the
communities on the reef were also amply documented by quadrat photographs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We would like to thank
Martin Sayer, Andy Mogg, Elaine Azzopardi and Hugh Brown at NFSD and the crew
of the RV Seol Mara for their excellent support to the project which involved
rather complex logistics and long working hours for everyone. Special thanks go
to Martin and Jane Sayer for their legendary hospitality. The team would also like
to acknowledge the EU program <a href="http://www.assemblemarine.org/">ASSEMBLE</a>
for funding this project.<o:p></o:p></div>

A most memorable and
worthwhile week in Oban!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Another AlgaeGroup
blog entry written in flight (this time en route from Santiago SCL to Atlanta
ATL): We had an awesome time exploring and enjoying one of the world’s most
remote islands – Easter Island. After 5 hours flying westwards out of Santiago
over the endless expanses of the Pacific, this small island appeared on the
horizon. I had a window seat and as we flew over it, Easter Island looked very
green. After a short loop west of Hanga Roa, the B767-300 landed at Hanga Roa’s
Mataveri Airport. Only LAN Airlines fly here, giving them a comfortable
monopoly. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">As we climbed out of
the plane, the hot humidity and exotic scents of this almost tropical island
descended upon us. We had pre-booked a beautiful cottage (cabaña) on the
outskirts of the island’s capital and only town, Hanga Roa. After relaxing a
bit, we took our rental car to drive to the island’s beautiful beach at
Anakena, lined with coconut trees and with a ceremonial platform (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ahu</i>) of the island’s famous statues, the
Moai. I could not resist the temptation to go swimming in the beautifully
transparent and warm waters (and found some <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sargassum</i>
sp.). The next day, Melina and I drove around most of the central and eastern
part of the island, exploring the quarry of Moai statues on the slopes of the Ranu
Raraku volcano, the impressive Ahu Tongariki with the biggest series of Moai
(re-erected thanks to Japanese generosity), beautiful petroglyphs and other
treasures of the island. The next day took us diving in the amazingly
transparent waters off the Motu islets (SW of Easter Island proper) and into
and around the Three Windows underwater cave. Visibility around Easter Island
reaches around 70 m for most of the year – the sea here is ultra-oligotrophic:
The lack of terrestrial dust input and land runoff limit the availability of
iron, making it a limiting nutrient for phytoplankton growth. In consequence,
there are very few fish – but corals (even though low in species numbers,
compared to the western Pacific) thrive beautifully. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Human presence has
dramatically altered Easter Island’s biodiversity and ecosystem (and the
history of its ecological demise debunks the myth that first nations are more
benign to a region’s environment than “civilized” European settlers). Easter
Island was first colonized by Polynesians (most likely originating from the
Gambier Islands, now in French Polynesia) around 1200 A.D.. Population
increased and a fairly highly developed society evolved, erecting hundreds of
the famous Moai statues and other monuments. Gradually, the island was
deforested and most breeding birds were wiped out. Deprived of most of the
island’s original resources, the human inhabitants found themselves
increasingly restricted in their life style – with decreasing availability and
diversity of food, and lack of construction materials for seagoing canoes (cf.
my previous blog chapter and in particular the chapter in Jared Diamond’s book <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">COLLAPSE</i>), limiting both their food
supply, mobility and communication with the outside world. Western contact did
not bring much positive change either, at least initially – while Easter Island
was unclaimed by any nation, Peruvian slave traders abducted most of the
Polynesian population to work in Peru’s guano mines (also wiping out the
intellectuals of this society – the wise men capable of reading and writing the
unique Rongo-Rongo script which remains non-deciphered to this date),
missionaries eradicated much of the original, Polynesian culture and a Scottish
farming company converted the whole island into a sheep farm for several
decades from the late 1800s. At present, Easter Island lives entirely of its
tourism due to its worldwide, mythical fame - I would argue that after all, the
island is currently in one of the better chapters of its history. Despite the
loss of much of its terrestrial biodiversity (including the world’s largest
palm tree), it is a very pretty island. The whole land surface outside of Hanga
Roa is a national park which is very well managed, the historic sites are
indeed well protected and cared for, and what is left of the Polynesian
cultural heritage is revered and valued.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">All this makes Easter
Island a very beautiful and interesting place to visit. We had a great time
exploring some amazing cave systems, Ana Te Pora– essentially volcanic lava
tunnels similar to the Three Windows Cave which we had already seen under water
a few days earlier. Just above the latter – and above the water and in the sea
cliffs – there is a Two Windows Cave, which offers spectacular views over the
sea. Another cave, Ana Te Pahu (“Banana Cave”), extends for kilometres
underground – it obviously provided refuge for hundreds of Polynesian
inhabitants during troublesome times in the past; relicts of underground
dwellings and other structures are still clearly visible. Our visit was
concluded with another very beautiful dive in a reef off Hanga Roa (including a
visit to a sunken Moai replica). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Six weeks away from
home, California, Chile and Easter Island – what a trip! I am returning energized
and in high spirits for the remainder of the university term.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Once more, I am
writing the Algaegroup blog in flight to a very remote island – I am typing
these lines on the plane from Santiago de Chile to Easter Island. We had a very
successful 2 ½ weeks at the Estacion Costiera de Investigaciones Marinas (ECIM)
at Las Cruces with 2 stint<span style="background-color: white;">s to the </span><span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;"><span style="background-color: white;">Pontifica Universidad Catolica</span></span><span style="background-color: white;"> de Chile (PUC) in Santiago. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Our team has been
investigating iodine uptake and efflux in 3 ecologically very important brown seaweeds
of the Southern Hemisphere – <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Macrocystis
pyrifera</i>, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lessonia trabeculata</i>
and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Durvillaea antarctica</i>. We were
able to show that all of them take up iodide at rates comparable to the North
Atlantic kelp <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Laminaria digitata</i>, and
also that they efflux iodine upon oxidative stress. Quite a novelty for
understanding the seaweed ecosystems of this part of the world.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">In parallel, my new
Chilean graduate student Pedro Murua-Andrade designed a setup for deploying
traps with kelp gametophytes in the kelp forest. While there is a reasonable
amount of understanding about the diseases of kelp sporophytes, hardly anything
is known about gametophytes in this regard – but any pathogens affecting the
microscopic gametophytes may potentially be impacting the recruitment of kelp
forests. Teresa and I managed to deploy 2 such traps (images below) by scuba
diving despite considerable swell, and when Melina and I recovered them 5 days
later, they were still in good shape and hopefully harboured some of the
sought-after pathogens. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I would very much like
to thank my enthusiastic and tireless team who have made this happen, together
with the local ECIM staff (in particular, Randy, Ricardo, Antonio and Glenda).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">We were definitely
impressed by the high quality of research facilities at ECIM and PUC. The trip
also gave us a good opportunity to explore the country’s capital, Santiago, and
the beautiful historic port city of Valparaiso (part of which had sadly
suffered from a massive fire 2 weeks ago, leaving hundreds of families homeless).
A happy coincidence enabled by electronic media in the global village was the
reunion with my Chilean friend Jenny Llanos, now a professor in Valparaiso – we
had been graduate students together at the Station Biologique de Roscoff in the
late 1990s.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">We are excited about
visiting and exploring Easter Island. I had long wanted to visit this mythical
island, one of the remotest on Planet Earth. On the way here, I read the two
chapters about Easter Island and its western neighbours of Henderson, Pitcairn
and Mangareva in Jared Diamont’s book <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">COLLAPSE
</i>(highly recommendable!). Being one of the latest settlements of the
Polynesian expansion, this subtropical island was home to a highly-developed
Polynesian society erecting the famous Moai statues. However, the unsustainable
ecosystem use of this society (in a vulnerable island ecosystem) gradually led
to deterioration of Easter’s environment, ultimately resulting in the collapse
of this society. Easter was stripped of most of its native vegetation and
native animals (with many species gone extinct), depriving its human
inhabitants of essential raw materials and food sources. In the end, Easter’s
population had to put up with a much-impoverished diet (turning to rats and
cannibalism as a last resort), increased warfare and restricted mobility (with
most trees gone, there was no means to build ocean-going canoes or rafts
anymore), disabling them to go fishing offshore and to leave the island. This
tiny island in the middle of a vast ocean has become quite a symbol for our
Home Planet. Will mankind be able to manage Earth’s resources more sustainably
and with more wisdom than Easter’s Polynesian society? When things deteriorated
in Easter Island, the inhabitants could not leave for a better, new home. A
gloomy thought – is something like this the fate of mankind too? I am sure
hoping to get some first-hand inspiration for my lectures on island
biogeography and conservation which I teach at Aberdeen.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">For concluding on a
positive note, I am very excited and nostalgic about my new trip to Polynesia.
My first trip to this part of the world was in April-May 1998, as a 1<sup>st</sup>
year PhD student at Roscoff, accompanying the marine natural products
expedition of Laurent Meijer (CNRS Roscoff, France) and George R. Pettit (ASU,
Tempe AZ, USA) – both of whom have become lifelong friends.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It is our second day in Las Cruces Chile
and I am writing from our office at ECIM which has a beautiful view overlooking
the ocean.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We just got back from a tour
of potential dive sites shown to us by Randy, the DSO here at the marine
lab.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We stopped at 3 sites: Algarrobo, Punta
de Tracla, and El Quisco.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Punta de
Tracla is a fairly well protected cove that seems to be perfect for deploying
Pedro’s gametophyte cultures (as baits for potential pathogens) and for collection
dives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Conditions for diving have
worsened the past few days and next week’s forecast is less than ideal so we
need a dive site that is protected from wave action.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At El Quisco we checked out some of the kelp
that had washed up on shore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were
large mats of giant kelp (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Macrocystis</i>
sp.), which is abundant off the central coast of Chile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Durvillaea
antarctica</i>, another species of kelp, had also washed up on shore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With its leathery fronds, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Durvillaea</i> is impressively resistant to
breakage and tightly held to its substrate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Randy’s attempts to tear it with his hands were unsuccessful and he finally
used his mouth to rip open the plant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Inside it is filled with air pockets that help it float, explaining it’s
the cushiony feeling when you squish it between your fingers. When we looked at
the underside of its holdfast we could see that when this plant had been dislodged
it actually took with it the barnacles and rocks it was attached to. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Frithjof, Randy and myself donned our
snorkel gear and tested out the Chilean waters to collect <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Macrocystis</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The visibility
was much better than I expected considering the strong winds and large swell
over the past few days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We collected a
few fronds and brought them back to the lab in preparation for the uptake
experiments we will start this weekend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We have enough material to keep us busy for the next few days and will
hopefully be able to dive early next week!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The Algae Group Blog
website is ready for news! I am writing these lines during the last hour of an
overnight flight from Atlanta (GA, USA) to Santiago de Chile. Together with
Teresa Tymon, MSc student of my long-time friend and collaborator <a href="http://www.chemistry.sdsu.edu/faculty/index.php?name=Carrano">Carl J.
Carrano (San Diego State University)</a>, I have been travelling close to 20 h
since leaving San Diego early last morning, via Salt Lake City and Atlanta. The
last leg from Atlanta followed a route along the west coast of Florida, across
Cuba, Panama, SW Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, a bit of the Pacific, and then into
Chile.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I have spent 2 weeks
visiting Carl and my other friends and collaborators in southern California –
in particular, <a href="https://www.msi.ucsb.edu/people/research-scientists/dan-reed">Dan Reed</a>,
<a href="http://ehs.ucsb.edu/units/diving/dsp/html/dso.html">Eric Hessell</a>
and <a href="http://web.chem.ucsb.edu/~butlergroup/">Alison Butler</a> at UC
Santa Barbara (and special thanks to Glyn and Jean Pritchard for their
hospitality). Ever since I was a postdoc with Alison Butler at UCSB (2001-2003),
this used to be an important part of life – I used to come back almost every
spring since then, for 2 appointments as visiting professor at UC Santa
Barbara, the PhD of <a href="http://www.unf.edu/bio/N00602945/">Cliff Ross</a>,
and, of course, the many years of collaboration with Carl in San Diego.
However, due to increased activities in the Eastern Mediterranean and South
Atlantic, I had not been back since March 2010 – it was time to reinvigorate my
California ties. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Later today, Teresa
and I will be met at <a href="http://ecim.cl/">ECIM</a> (Estación Costiera de
Investigaciones Marinas) in Las Cruces (about the same latitude as Santiago on
the long Chilean coastline) by Pedro Murua Andrade, my new Chilean PhD student.
In 4 days’ time, we will be joined by Melina Marcou (Dept. of Fisheries and
Marine Research, Cyprus Government).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The objectives of this
trip are to explore 2 features the world’s largest seaweed, giant kelp (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Macrocystis pyrifera</i>), which is abundant
along much of the Chilean coast, but also in California, the Falkland Islands
and other parts of the world. Firstly, we are trying to get new insight into the
halogen (in particular, iodine) metabolism in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Macrocystis</i>. While the North Atlantic kelp <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Laminaria digitata</i> is well explored in this respect and known to be
the strongest iodine accumulator in life, impacting atmospheric processes
through its emissions<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>of molecular
iodine (I<sub>2</sub>). Secondly, we (in particular, Pedro) are interested in
the pathogens infecting gametophytes of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Macrocystis</i>.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The work is funded by the EU project
ASSEMBLE (<a href="http://www.assemblemarine.org/">www.assemblemarine.org</a>)
and CONICYT (the Chilean national research council).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Our time in Chile will
be concluded by 5 days in Easter Island, one of the remotest islands on Planet
Earth – diving included. I teach island biogeography and conservation at
Aberdeen, and I am hoping to get some inspiration for these lectures which have
become quite popular among the students from visiting the textbook example of a
ruined island ecosystem.</span></div>
