For your excellent and unusual images such as this icefish from antarctica, compound eye of Antarctic krill, tomopterus and feast of other plankton, I award you the photographer's barnstar.

krill on mainpage in Danmark today edit

Hi Uwe! I better point out that my edits on Antarctic krill as a matter of fact was just of the menial copyedit kind. I am really not very knowledgeable about oceanography. I must say that I can't find Antarctic krill on da:Forside; however, I see that the article will be on the main page tomorrow. Congratulations on that one, the Antarctic krills and you sure deserve it!

Moreover, I (a Swede) will most likely make many silly mistakes if I try to translate to Norwegian, even if I read it fluently. With caution, I might be able to help out with a paragraph or two, though. I'll see what time I'll get to spare.

My most beloved server, online from the first days of the WEB from my NeXT computer (donated from d'ART) ecoSCOPE.com - the first image is in 3D - click on "teacher", "virtual microscope" or "space" and land directly under the iceberg in Antarctica.

I am from Scandinavian roots, in love with Norge, live sometimes in the USA.
