Dear Bill,

This note is in response to an earlier message regarding the temporary shutdown of the McMurdo Station Marine Field Guide which Peter Brugeggeman, Director of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Library, has put
together as a web site.  Peter was asked by professional underwater photographer Norbert Wu to participate in a National Science Foundation sponsored underwater photography expedition to the US Base at McMurdo Station on Ross Island in Antarctica.  A photo journalism article of that trip will be published in the Feb.'99 issue of National Geographic magazine.  National Geographic wants first publication rights so Peter has to wait sixty (60) days before the images can go up.  I have had the good fortune to see not one but two fantastic presentations of that trip by Peter before both the San Diego Council of Divers and the San Diego
Underwater Photographic Society.  I can assure you there are some great branch shots along with other superlative material.  Most notable in my mind was a shot of an isopod that was so big, it looked like something
straight out of a star wars flic! 
    
Cheers;

Thanks for the quick response Mike. I will make a point of checking in a few months to see if the pics return.
