Squid are some of the most fascinating creatures in the maritime realm. I once was able to identify some formerly frozen squidlings who had been captured in frozen ice cores in the Arctic when I took a Sea Ice course through the University of Fairbanks in Barrow, AK. Looking for seal haul out locations with their pups and going out on the ice shelf to experience the beluga whale migration were all very rewarding, but finding those little guys in an ice core was also very satisfying.
That's why I was so drawn to this story my hubby shared with me this morning. Some amazing squid will be taking a trip to space to help increase our knowledge of ________.
