I am Here to Wonder

17-24 June 2017 I haven't had a holiday to somewhere nice and wild for a year because of A-levels but we finally went on an UnCruise trip to Southeast Alaska on the EV Wilderness Explorer! It was a very small ship - more like a boat, really - even for an expedition vessel, which was what made it so great. There were seven guides (I think) for only 70 guests onboard so it felt very homely. Everyone was really friendly and we quickly got comfortable with one another. The guides were unbelievably knowledgeable about ecology, evolutionary biology, geology (all the -ologies you can think of); I feel some of them could replace a couple of my previous school's H2 Biology teachers (cough). They will need more teachers like these if they want us to stop sleeping in lectures any time soon. I wish we had a chance in school to get out a bit more and see things for ourselves, which was what the Wilderness Explorer was all about:

Finally got down to logging the glorious Raffles Girls' School Science trip to Wales 2013 here. This log is slightly back-dated because I had to copy and compile everything from my journal, worksheets and camera here. I think the idea of a field journal is one of the best in the world and I wish I weren't too lazy to put all the cool detailed facts I learnt and the diagrams and drawings I made here as well.
