Aleutian Islands Cruise 2004

Two weeks on the M/V Tiglax, starting at Dutch Harbor and ending at Adak.

3 stops: Bogoslof, Chagulak and Kasatochi Islands.
I had the amazing experience of working with 4 out of 5 of my M.S. committee members on this trip. We collected fat and blood samples from seabirds for a fatty acid and horomone analysis. .. loads of fun.
