First song was <em>New York, New York<\/em>, but reworked to be <em>Barrow, Barrow<\/em>. Clever lyrics and amazing voices. Sometimes I\u2019m floored by the skills that others have in addition to begin scientists! Just following the music, we had another special guest. Nothing sends people scrambling faster than someone exclaiming \u201cPolar Bear!\u201d This one came right up to the ship as we were parked, clearly following her nose towards our waiting dinner. She was injured on her hind leg, possibly from a confrontation with a walrus. Continually sniffing the air, she hung around for a long time as we tackled our meals inside; Ours certainly easier to catch than hers. During the dinner there were toasts and each person was individually recognized for their contributions to the expedition. All received a small bottle of Arctic Ocean sediment as a souvenir of our adventure. Then the dinner turned into an evening of fun and relaxation with friends, saunas, duct-tape bow ties, and a little dancing. During the night we also entered a time warp as the ship sailed back 8 hours and we adjusted ourselves to Barrow time. \u00a0Still catching my bearings from that change.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_306\" style=\"width: 883px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/icebreaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2014\/08\/DinnerGuest.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-306\" class=\"size-full wp-image-306\" src=\"http:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/icebreaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2014\/08\/DinnerGuest.jpg\" alt=\"A polar bear approaches the ship.\" width=\"873\" height=\"457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/icebreaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2014\/08\/DinnerGuest.jpg 873w, https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/icebreaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2014\/08\/DinnerGuest-300x157.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 873px) 100vw, 873px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-306\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dinner guest<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_309\" style=\"width: 674px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/icebreaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2014\/08\/DinnerBear.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-309\" class=\"size-full wp-image-309\" src=\"http:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/icebreaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2014\/08\/DinnerBear.jpg\" alt=\"polar bear on ice\" width=\"664\" height=\"605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/icebreaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2014\/08\/DinnerBear.jpg 664w, https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/icebreaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2014\/08\/DinnerBear-300x273.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-309\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dinner bear.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>17 Aug 2014, by Matthew Shupe [74N, 171W]: Tonight was the End of Cruise Dinner, \u00a0special occasion where there is a nice meal, table clothes, wine.
