Headmaster’s List Lily Nguyen – Grade 9 Ashley Reardon – Grade 9 Olivia Sullivan – Grade 9 ASKS | from page 9 concerned about the environment. They are very particular that nothing from the ship gets into the environment Q: So, what about your experience with the penguins? A: In the Falklands, we got to see them up close. The ones we got close to were the Gentoo penguins. Q: How close? A: You couldn’t get too close to them, because if you walked toward them, they would walk away. If you stayed still, they would come closer. A lot of times, they would gather in little circles as if they were having a conversation and talking to each other. Q: Did you see any other inNicole Uribe Lopez – Grade 9 Courtney Casaletto – Grade 10 Carolina Munera Restrepo – Grade 10 Christopher Femino – Grade 9 Kevin Jolicoeur – Grade 9 Nicholas Sambataro – Grade 9 Duy Thuc Trinh – Grade 10 Gabriel Portal – Grade 11 teresting things? A: We went around Elephant Island. That’s the place where Shackleton – one of the most famous Antarctic explorers – got stuck with his crew for 100 days. The island itself got the name, probably, because it used to be the abode of the Elephant seals. Humans overhunted them and there are no longer any Elephant seals on Elephant Island. And that’s where we had a fire in the ship. It took out one of the generators. The Coral Princess was somewhat crippled by the loss of the generator, but it wasn’t something that endangered the ship. Q: Were there any potential challenges that stood in the way of this trip? First Honors Khloe Camblin – Grade 10 Anthony Caruso – Grade 10 Stephen Dewsnap – Grade 10 Devin Williams – Grade 10 Colin Cadigan – Grade 11 Anthony Zannella – Grade 12 Second Honors Ava Imbrescia – Grade 9 A: We got down to Cape Horn, the tip of South America. Once you pass that, you’re heading into the Drake Passage. But we had to get permission from the Chilean Navy to pass into the Drake Passage. They could always say “No.” And that would have ruined the conference. If the Chilean Navy thought going down into Antarctic waters would endanger the trip, they would put the kibosh on it. But we had some surprisingly clear days in Antarctica. The entire time away, we never saw the night sky once. In South America, there was too much weather to actually see anything; it was too cloudy. And there was 24 hours of daylight in Antarctica.

A: Probably different categories of things. On one hand, anyone who is nutty enough to go on a conference on a ship in Antarctica – that is something I won’t forget. We were all kindred spirits. No matter where we all came from – from all over the world – we all got along. We were all different ages, from different countries and with different customs. The youngest was eight and he was a speaker. And the oldest – probably in their early 60s. Going to a conference at the end of the world was odd. But for both of the girls, it was a really good experience for them. Q: How does a trip like this Ryan Saint Fort – Grade 12 To qualify for the Headmaster’s List, students must have scores of 90 and above in all classes; to qualify for First Honors, students must have scores of 85 and above in all classes; and to qualify for Second Honors, students must have scores of 80 and above in all classes. widen your world, professional career and your personal life? What do you get out of it? A: It’s been observed by many before me that travel broadens the mind, and it’s doubly true for participating in a conference like this in Antarctica. Through common interests and a shared adventure, all the AntarctiConf presenters have become friends. We’ll be going out of our way to meet up again in future conferences as well as work together on future projects. As we have dramatically different backgrounds, we naturally have different takes on things, and that makes the prospects of future collaborations all the more likeASKS | SEE PAGE 12 WE WORK FOR YOU! * Have your car repaired by Real Manufacturer Certiified Technicians * An I-CAR GOLD CLASS SHOP Highest Certificate in the Repair Industry * Premier Insurance Co.
