Santa at Sea

Santa at Sea

December 24, 2016

During a pair of linked research cruises on R/V Atlantis that spanned Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year, the crew and science team left a traditional enticement of cookies and milk to make sure Santa Claus didn’t overlook them. Judging by the leftovers, it appears jolly old St. Nick found the ship, but no word on whether he came down the ship’s stack or his reindeer and sleigh landed on the fantail between Alvin dives. Either way, we here at WHOI hope Santa finds you and your family this holiday, and we wish you a “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!” (Photo by Ryan Jackson, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
