This is episode 23 of the Antarctica series, and it's also the final one in the series. Today's storyteller is the perfect finale though to bring this series full circle. So - today's storyteller is Megan McCuller! You may remember her from the very first episode of the Antarctica series where we heard from her as she was onboard the NSF ship the R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer about to embark on an epic journey to Antarctica! In that episode we talked about the work they were going to do, her expectations, and the process they had to go through to do this in a safe way during this global COVID-19 pandemic. So that episode (actually episode #71 back in November) was the before, and this episode is the after! So in this episode we talk about the cool sea creatures they found in their samples, life on the ship, ice breaking, being isolated from the world for 3 months, and what's up next for Megan after Antarctica. Enjoy!
