Sydnie Rogers Chung Family S.O.S. ACE PROJECT SEPTEMBER 2012-NOVEMBER 2012
Clue #1 • 1.Bottle Analysis: The soil sample in the bottle shows a lot of damage from glaciers. There are also some rock samples from very ancient rocks, probably some of the oldest on earth.
Clue #1 • 2. Recovered Text : They found a washed away writing on the message. It said “It’s cold here! We regularly see icebergs floating by.” “There is an incredible number of small islands around us, I hope you will be able to find us.”
Clue #2 • 1.Bottle Analysis: There was little plant material in the soil. We did find some hay. There was a wooly fiber stuck to the sample of hay and we found out that it was from a lamb.
Clue #2 • 2.Recovered Text: “We are having a terrible time growing anything to eat except for some potatoes. There aren’t any forest around here either.” “The warmest it got here was about 50° and that was only for a couple of weeks. Last summer the sun was out for 24 hours, but nothing had time to grow.”
Clue #3 • 1.Bottle Analysis: There was some evidence of animals in the bottle sample. There were fish scales from a salmon. There were also small traces of manure from a musk ox.
Clue #3 • 2. Recovered Text: “There are so many amazing animals here. Some are fun to watch like the walruses and seals. We even saw a couple of whales swimming close off the beach. I think one was a humpback. The second one we saw was huge--- maybe 80 feet long!” “Some animals worry us, though, like the huge polar bear that wandered into our camp last night.”
Clue #4 • 1.Recovered Text: There was a lot of damage to the bottom of the note. However, using several techniques we were able to recover the following text. “Using a crude sundial we were able to figure our approximate latitude. It is 64°.” “Please find us soon! We look up at the North Star each night and hope that it will guide you rescue ship to us.”
News Flash • A chip from an antler of a male reindeer.
News Flash • We can only surmise that they were viewing the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). • The family claimed the northern sky was filled with colorful images.
