Book Preview:

#1 I visited the Australian Antarctic Division in Hobart, Tasmania. The complex is impressive, and the food is themed to commemorate the giants of early expeditions.

#2 The krill were collected at sea and then mollycoddled for weeks on board the Aurora before the ship returned to port with its precious cargo.

#3 The return trip to Hobart was also filled with challenges, from collecting live krill to babysitting the krill once they were in aquaria on board. You have to understand the bigger picture to understand why people go to so much trouble for such measly shrimp-like creatures.

#4 The keystone species in the Southern Ocean are the Antarctic krill, which are not only important to the animals that eat them, but also to the entire ecosystem. If krill disappeared, it would take the most important species with them.
