Day 9 in Chile (November 3, 2013)


INACH building where we have our meeting
This morning we kicked off our SAMBA-iMAG meeting at INACH new building. Before we start,
One of the INACH scientist gave us a tour of INACH facility.  Here is what I learned from his tour, which is all new for me. A petrified log, right log, was found at King George Island in Antarctica 46 million years ago. Then on another room, the scientist told us the entire skeletal structures of dinosaurs was found and he showed us portion of it. Dinosaurs lived in Antarctica? Really? He also said the dinosaurs lived in Antarctica way before the continent split. Generally the meeting went out very well and it was very productive.
