It certainly doesn't look like serious education, but it is. These are students from the Los Angeles area who have traded the rigid walls of school for the expanse of sea and sky.

"For both teachers and students, the adventure became a lesson in how to work as professional scientists might, analyzing data that might not otherwise make sense, earning the respect of others because of their participation in a project that required teamwork, and drawing conclusions that explain how delicate life systems function in the world's most extreme climate."
