Beware of krill in pet food and supplements — the penguins and the whales need it more than we do! Let’s get our omega-3s from plants and help keep the oceans healthy. #MyLastContinent #Antarctica
A record catch of krill near Antarctica could trigger an unprecedented end to fishing season
Fishing for krill near Antarctica has surged to a record high, nearing a seasonal catch limit that could close the fishery early.

So ... Ron Howard and I had the same idea: Create an ending to the real-life, unsolved mysteries of Floreana Island in the 1930s.

I cannot wait to see his film, EDEN ... it has a very different ending than the version in FLOREANA.

What really happened? No one knows ...
