Doral Academy Drifter Has Been Deployed!

A big splash and a long wait - by isa R.



I imagine the drifters we sent flying into the sea 
getting dragged off in all directions by these erratic surface currents. 

One of them is our second special one, adopted by the Doral Academy of Colorado. 
Drifter #300234066338770 was deployed at 60S, 30E on April 22.  


A fun deployment, in much calmer conditions. 
But in these parts of the world, the quiet moments don't last long.

A tale of pancake ice, furious seas.. and a drifter - by Isa R.


.... #300234066615940 is special not only because it was the first of the cruise, but also because it was "adopted" by the Troyeshchyna Gymnasium (Nataliya Byzova) in Kyiv, Ukraine, as part of the Adopt-a-drifter program!! 
This is very exciting, as the teacher and the students can now track the life of their instrument, in its errands around the Southern Ocean!!
