Students from Seltjarnarnes Community in Iceland toured the WHOI-operated research vessel Knorr in early October 2008 before it departed for research in the Irminger Sea. The school was one of five from the U.S., Greenland, Iceland, and the United Kingdom that participated in an online expedition. During the voyage, students logged on to learn about oceanography and shipboard life by reading daily dispatches prepared in English and Greenlandic. Students also e-mailed questions to and received answers from scientists.
