Wild Blue Yonder

Hi all,

So I'm off to Manzanillo, Mexico tomorrow to hop on board the Atlantis and begin the journey to the East Pacific Rise. I'm helping out with some research looking at colonization, dispersal and succession dynamics of invertebrates at some hydrothermal vents. If all goes well I'll get a trip down to the vents in Alvin! Fingers crossed. You can track the ship by clicking here:

I'll be back in Australia Dec. 6th and will post plenty of pictures then! I should have spotty access to my gmail account while on board, so send me notes when you can!

Cheers,
Benjamin
