the boat in the foreground is technically the rescue boat. it is used in case of emergency. there is another just like it on the other side of the ship. each watercraft can hold up to 72 tightly packed people and protect them from danger. so if the boat starts to sink, everybody climbs on board, gets dumped into the water, and waits patiently for a rescue...
the rear boat is a landing craft typically used for science missions that need something a little smaller.
having grown up in a place like this... colorado that is, i have since high school cultivated a considerable appetite for the 'out of doors'. But not just in generic, but the fast outdoors, the unbelieveable starry lit night outdoors, the gravity induced outdoors, the powdery outdoors, the rockhewn outdoors, and so on.
Beyond this passion for my home state, i am a happily married man who has the strange and blessed option in life to deploy to the antarctic continent once in a while. i have been 3 times now, which no longer makes it an accident.
