Frank Kelley says, "we worked hard to clear off as much gravel as possible from the site to expose the different objects we had uncovered. Unfortunately, the gravel is very unstable, and soon after we finished, one of the edges collapsed. This image also gives you an idea of how deep we are and how close to the water we are. The depth is somewhat deceptive due to the piles of materials that have been removed that are up on the top." Barrow, Alaska.

One of the most rewarding things about being a scientist is the discovery of new knowledge. You get to go out and ask questions that nobody has asked before, use your imagination to see the world around you and become excited about discovering new knowledge and new ideas.
