So we collaborate with different tour vessel that go down to Antarctica from like November till March. So like a Southern summer months. So what we do is train those two guys that are going to be with different passengers to run the program where they're on board. Oh, wow. And so what happens is like when they're down in the peninsula, they have like a list of sites that they can go sample.
So when they're like, oh, tomorrow we're going to one of these sites and we want to do fear phyto. And so they have like a GPS location they can go. So they go down in like an inflatable boat with the kit for the sampling, like the instruments and the bottles and everything. A group of guests that are interested in helping gather the samples.

Yeah, I feel like it's very meaningful because the passengers, sometimes they didn't expect at all to go to Antarctica to do some science. And so when they're doing that, they're super excited. They didn't even think about that when they were like, you know, booking a vacation. And then most of that people have never heard, like, even the word fire plankton before.

So when you talk about, like, how whales depend on them, unlike penguins, which is actually what they wanted to see in Antarctica, whales and penguins. So when you talk about, like, whoa, the whales and penguins wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the fire plankton. I feel like that kind of blows their mind a little bit. And I think it adds a lot of value to their trip.

So first of all, we kind of like start like describing what happened in these places that the ships actually go. We have no idea what happened there. Like there was sometimes no description for the phytoplankton before. And we're also understanding better what happens through the whole season. So from November to March, it is a lot of information.

When you go with a research vessel, sometimes you go like a month or like two weeks or like very short periods of time. So you have sometimes one month of information from one year and then the next year they couldn't go on the same month. So you have another month. And so then you have to put it all together like a big puzzle.

So from this, we learned how these places were behaving, like, the whole summer. And then year after year, how that was changing.
