Hello from Canada!

Hey yall! We have spent two days in Canada so far and they have been GGRREAAATT! We have wasted no time in learning about the geology of the Sudbury impact site. We have visited many outcroppings and have taken many different measurements of the Sudbury basin, such as its radioactivity level, magnetic susceptibility, and other various geological notes. Our measurements currently support Dr. Paul Lowman's theory that the impact crater is not nearly as large as popular belief. Not only have we been having a blast taking data, but we have also visited rapids and have been enjoying the wonderful Canadian country side! The only real problem we have had on our adventures is mosquitoes. :( All and all, we are looking forward to another day of discovery and geology!!!!! (We have also included a video of Dr. Paul Lowman instructing us on proper geological techniques for collecting data) Hope you enjoy!
