Audience: What's the source of ignition for the fires? @DulcineaGroff: Lightning and humans. There have been natural fires, but things grow back quickly. Also: see @KitHamley's work (coming soon!) for more details on fire! #FalklandsPaleo

It’s getting real! #falklandspaleo leaves on Thursday. Today we’re prepping field gear and picking up last-minute gear needs.

I am learning more than I ever wanted to know about taking litium ion batteries on airplanes. #falklandspaleo

International medivac insurance card aquired. Here’s hoping we never need it! #falklandspaleo

Satellite phone charged! Who wants a text from the Falklands? #falklandspaleo

I'm squeezing in a last-minute trip to the local outdoor store to pick up new smart wool socks and other small essentials! #falklandspaleo

Phase 2: Boston> NYC > Santiago, Chile > Punta Arenas, Chile! Then an overnight stay, and a Saturday flight to the FI. #falklandspaleo

My Kindle is stocked with books for our #falklandspaleo trip: Steerswoman, Hild, Ancillary Justice, Rupetta, & The Signature of All Things.

Pretty money acquired! Chilean pesos for our overnight in Punta Arenas, and Pounds for the Falklands. #falklandspaleo http://t.co/QPtoKXCwgV

Greetings from Punta Arenas, Chile! All has gone well so far. Our baggage all made it! We fly to the Falklands tomorrow. #falklandspaleo

The restaurants don't open until 8:30, which means it's pisco sour time!#falklandspaleo http://t.co/6h9EBOeURd

Tilt is the reason for seasons! Back home in Maine, the sun set at 3:55 pm today. Here, it sets at 10:00 pm. #FalklandsPaleo
December 4, 2024 at 2:16 PM
Good morning! The sun was up at 4:30 but the #falklandspaleo team got a good night's rest. We fly to Mt. Pleasant Airport, Falklands, today!
December 4, 2024 at 2:16 PM
The sky is clear today. We packed plenty of sunscreen; we're close to the hole in the ozone layer, so sun protection is key. #falklandspaleo
December 4, 2024 at 2:16 PM
Still pretty light out at 10:45 pm! I'm off to dream of warrahs. See you tomorrow from the land of sheep and penguins! #falklandspaleo

Flights into the Falklands are either commercial, via Chile, or through the UK via Christmas Island. Or by boat! #falklandspaleo

Tourist season is starting on the islands, which is a big party of the local economy. A couple thousand visit each year. #falklandspaleo
December 4, 2024 at 2:16 PM
The FI are home to 3,000 permanent residents, mostly in Stanley, though some live on the surrounding small islands. #falklandspaleo
December 4, 2024 at 2:16 PM
We're based in East Falkland, with trips to West Falkland (warrah!), Bleaker, and Kidney Islands (tussac grass, birds). #falklandspaleo
December 4, 2024 at 2:11 PM
We're at the airport! It's so windy here in Punta Arenas today! The LAN pilots deal with this every day, thankfully. #falklandspaleo
December 4, 2024 at 2:11 PM
My students are skeptical that out LAN flight will depart in today's wind (43 mph, gusting to 60!) but this is normal! #falklandspaleo
December 4, 2024 at 2:11 PM
Quick stop in Stanley! Just got back from West Falkland, looking for elusive warrah remains and taking some test cores. #falklandspaleo
