We went back to UNIS, and went into a lecture room. One of the guides (and students at UNIS), Sebastian, showed us the difference between freshwater ice (pure water) and sea ice (contains salt). It was very interesting, especially when we went into the cold labs. There were two, -30 C and -4C. They let us lick some sea ice, and it was disgusting!!! EWWW! We also went into an marine biology lab to study cocopods and marine plankton. The professional microscopes let us see them very clearly.
In the afternoon, we were able to get permission to go to an untouched island to hunt for fossils. We were given special hammers for us to brake in between the layers of the sedimentary rock to find fossils. Liss and I both found ammonites!
That night was our last night as Ice Edge winners, so we had a HUGE disco!! It was great fun, and we even got the teachers dancing!
Liss: It wasn't our official last night but as we were off the boat early in the morning, the actual last night we went to bed early!!! The Disco rocked but was really sad at the same time as we didn't want to leave our friends!
