Eels


On Sunday, June 13 I found two eels.  When I first picked up the rock I thought it was water droplets, but when I lifted up the rock all the way they started flapping their tail.  You might be, "Like... how much of them is their tail?",  because they look like one big long tail.


When I picked them up and they were hard to keep a hold of.  Yes, they were slippery.


Here is a picture of me holding one of the eels.  I then let them go.

Douglas Mawson's Sled Plane



Douglas Mawson was an Australian polar explorer.

In 1912 Mr. Mawson took a plane to Antarctica but it had no wings. He wanted it to be like a sled with an engine. He would use it to drag supplies for explorers.

Antarctica is very cold, too cold for an engine to last long. The plane quit working. Mr. Mawson left it behind.

The sled plane got buried in ice. People thought it got washed into the ocean.

Australian researchers recently found the sled plane. It is still under ice. They can only see a little bit of it though.

The sled plane is still in the place he left it almost 100 years ago!
