Turner Fenton - Day 3

Students and teachers boarded the bus this morning to explore more of the area.  The first stop was at the falls in St. George.  Then after a few stops in Back Bay to look at various aquaculture sites, it was on to Green's Point to see the lighthouse there.  We even had a glimpse of the Deer Island and Grand Manan ferries as they made their crossings.
This afternoon students collected samples on the Fundy Spray, learnt about the local lobster and tested how long it takes for echinoderms to turn right-side up when flipped over.
Students descend the stairs to have a closer look at the fish ladder.

The water was very fast moving today, causing a lot of mist in the air.

All of the mist in the air made for a pretty rainbow over the falls.

The water level is very high after the large quantities of rain the area has received recently.

Students returning seem to appear out of the mist.

A very picturesque view of the other end of the falls.
