“Back in the Fjord”: We discussed the title of our press release<\/a> at length. Admittedly, we had come up with more appealing titles for previous experiments. But it fits. Oh, yes, it fits! The KOSMOS gang is back at the fjord, this time accompanied by a group of highly motivated students. And how happy everyone is to go out at any kind of weather, bite the waves, tap samples on a rocking boat and spend hours in front of their binoculars counting critters too small to recognize with the naked eye!<\/p>\n

It’s great to join them again. It’s great to see the mesocosms floating between rocks and islands again. It’s great to be back in the fjord.<\/p>\n

This morning – after having been woken up by the first plane leaving Flesland airport – I felt the urge to go out to see, film and photograph the mesocosms (aka “most beautiful research facilities in the world”). And besides: It was sunny.<\/p>\n

So – who was going? Henni, Micha, Paul and Fabrizio had to do another carbon dioxide addition without disturbing the fish eggs<\/a> or the evo-cages<\/a>. Solvin and I followed them in a smaller boat with our cameras and Solvin’s plankton net (he does not count the critters but spends countless hours to portrait them).<\/p>\n

By the time we had reached the mesocosms, dark grey clouds had covered the sun and the wind had picked up a bit. But hey – it was still dry. And our faces were glowing anyway.<\/p>\n
