The last few days of fieldwork were reserved for finishing up mapping of marine terraces, organizing, labeling, and packing samples, and taking one last unsuccessful stab at collecting live deepwater clams. The weather has been warm and sunny with a light breeze – allowing some of us the unique experience of visiting Ingøya’s lighthouse. Much discussion took place about next year’s field campaign – what worked well this year and what didn’t. The trip back to the US started with the southbound Hurtigruten from Havøysund all the way to Tromsø. On Wednesday we began our journey home by air and arrived back late Wednesday night. For now, its back to the basement for these researchers!
