I don't know how you brave these kind of conditions. Is this how it always is or is this a storm. What do you do on this ship?

This was a storm in the North Sea off the coast of Norway. It's not always this bad but sometimes its worse. Hurricanes are much worse and I've been through or partly through 8 or 9.
We are shooting marine seismic surveys, imaging the earth below the seafloor, hunting for oil and gas. I'm the geophysicist onboard.
Anyway, this is just what I do for a living, its not as spectacular as this picture all the time-mostly its boring:)

Don't be modest, Marc. We know you're always on adventuous, dangerous assignments!!

Ok, I admit Myanmar (Burma) was cool and maybe just a wee bit tense at the end, but I still maintain it's mostly boring. This trip I would add monotonous.
