Here are some sample photos of the boat:
"The Bridge" where the captain and co. control the ship
The main deck where the OBS's are deployed. The right side of the deck is only ~6 ft above the water, so this area gets very wet during storms.
The Marine Mammal Observers (MMO) tower. Also not a good place to be in a storm, especially if you're prone to seasickness. It moves more than anywhere else on the boat.
A part of the gun deck. The rubber float is the large black cylinder in the top left and you can see two of the guns hanging down from that. The curved metal rails allow for easy deployment off the back of the boat. Another place you don't want to be in a storm as the edge of the deck is nearly level with the water.
My bathroom (shared with one other guy). The shower is out of the picture to the right.
The common room between the other student's rooms (to the right) and my room (off the picture to the left).
My humble quarters, prior to moving in. You can't see the whole room, but there really isn't much else to it.
The R/V Marcus G. Langseth. It was hard to get the whole ship in one photo. The bridge is on top and the "house" containing all of the living quarters, mess hall, movie room, etc. are below the bridge. All of the equipment decks are barely visible on the right edge of the photo.
The beautiful blue of the South Pacific.
Olga, me, and Erica on the MMO tower, just after launch.
The movie room, complete with ~42" 1080p flatscreen and surround sound. Unfortunately, you have to compete with engine noise if you watch a movie, but it's still nice to have.
The main science lab, where I spend most of my waking hours.
