Got home last night. Impossible to describe the wonderful feeling when picked up at SFO by my husband and three kids after 2 months at sea.

The labs are abandoned, the scientists are done with their work. I've been working non-stop on the expedition reports, and I'm done.

Went through the typhoon yesterday. Standing on the top deck, I got blasted by the wind. The swell was big, ship was rocking! Fun!

Hitting bad weather, will be passing to the east (hopefully) of the typhoon Krovanh by the morning.

Steaming near Kuril Islands. A typhoon is brewing just SE of Japan. We'll detour to the east to avoid the worst of it. Seas will get rough

Transiting east of Kamchatka Peninsula, although we can't see land. Everyone is exhausted, but there's still more work to do.

Sailed through the Kamchatka Strait during the night. The swell and winds and ship movement have intensified.

We'll reach the Aleutian Islands soon, looking for marine life before we enter the Pacific Ocean. Very busy writing reports.

Heading SW along the dateline (doesn't follow a longitude line in the Bering Sea). Weird to be straddling today and the day after tomorrow.

Got our last core of the expedition! Sunny & cold on the deck. Totally impressed and grateful for the hard work of the crew and technicians.

Amazing day, blue skies, many birds. Our last day at a great site, a nice way to end the expedition. Lots of writing left to do.

This site will provide climate records of abrupt and rapid past climate change that can be compared to those from the Greenland ice cores.

We're at our final site, and started drilling. Hope to get ultra-high sediment accumulation rates here for detailed climate change records.

A blue sky day - but typhoon Vamco is aimed at us. Will fizzle out once it hits cold water & will be diverted east by the jet stream, maybe.

Drilling is going great. In the next hours, we'll be done, tripping pipe, and beginning our transit to our next, and last, site.

OK, can I tell you about my first 'green flash'? Just before the sun disappeared, it glowed a bright neon green for about 12 seconds. Wow!
