2012 Maritime Heritage Expedition Log by Etta Karth – July 9, 2012

The invert team went to collect samples at multiple locations around Tern Island. We drove directly between La Pérouse Pinnacles, greeted by several seabirds en route. We are an unidentifiable large moving object that the birds are not fearful of, causing a flurry of curiosity.
