prepare for the research project we are starting after midnight
tomorrow. After breakfast, we developed the hypothesis we want to test.
The discussion got pretty heated as everyone, being true Wellesley
students, wanted to get their opinion heard. The Russians just smiled,
"Ugh, those Americans, know nothing about science!". We decided on
researching the Golomyanka's nighttime behaviour: the lake's most
prevalent fish that usually dwells in the deeper layers of Baikal,
allegedly comes closer to the surface at night. So we will be setting
our alarms for 12:45 AM to hunt for some Golomyanka.
The rest of the day was spend preparing for our noctural trip and having
fun around the bio-station. Lyuba, one of the students from Irkutsk
State University, braided our hair in traditional Russian style, while
others braved the icy water.
