We got off the ship at seven o’clock in the morning.…

Reflection Essay: "The Old Man and the Sea" "The Old Man and the Sea" is truly an inspiring work from Hemingway. I've learned about old age, courage, pride, machismo, divinity in death and brotherhood.

King Crab straight from the local coral reef; during our spearfishing trip (I mentioned it earlier at the activities paragraph) among all the fish and conch we caught and found we had the incredible fortune to run across a King Crab in the Caribbean sea; later that day we had a very large and very wonderful meal of fish, conch fritters, ceviche, and the grand item: King Crab; the meal was actually large enough that everyone (including the onsite guide’s family) had enough to eat. Our last trip…

have been significant changes in sea ice extent. Specifically, the report addresses the slow but significant seasonal decline in sea ice cover. Arctic sea ice is of utmost importance for ecosystems to thrive. Post et al. (2013) discuss this further, stating “the sea-ice biome influences the abundance, distribution, seasonality, and interactions of marine and terrestrial species.” This is especially true for polar bear populations in the Arctic, as the presence of sea ice is imperative to their…
