Today, we visited a local school in the small village of Nikolaevsk, Alaska. Nikolaevsk School is a K-12 institution, yet only has 6 students in total, only one being in the high school level. We met the students and informed some of them about our college experiences, the differences between college and high school, and some of the other changes college can bring. Afterwards, we completed several workshops with the six students. The workshops were Bone Articulation, Microscopic Plankton, Fictional Writing, a Science Workshop, and Clay Pinchpots.

We all got back safely last night (minus a few missed bags). Here is the next to the last post. Today our group headed to Seward, Alaska for the last two days of the trip. We enjoyed an amazing whale watching tour with Kenai Fjords. Our whale tour included seeing sea otters, harbor seals, humpback whales, and killer whales. We also got to see a glacier up close and enjoyed special drinks made from the glacier ice! The next stop for the day was the Alaskan Sealife Center. At the Sealife Center, we were able to see the “behind-the-scenes” of the center when it is closed off to the public. We looked at the aquariums that contains seals, sea lions, various fish and birds! Our group learned about the background of sea lions and looked closely at the components of a sea lion’s scat. We are resting next to the Alaskan bird habitat, seals habitat, and seal lion habitat for our big day tomorrow with the Iditarod dogs and our trip back home. Paige and Alexis
