We were very pleased with the enthusiastic response of Napier area students and teachers to the tours of the R/V Roger Revelle, and hope that we have perhaps inspired some future Earth scientists. We thank Carol Larson from the National Aquarium in Napier for helping organize the tours, and the captain and crew of the R/V Roger Revelle for their help and information along the way.
