		Palmer was hailed as a hero and in recognition of his efforts, he was given command of the Stonington sloop Hero that would serve as tender to the Hersilia when she sailed again for South Shetland.
		Palmer cordially accepted the invitation and after giving orders to his mate, left with the Russians dressed just as he was, in his sealskin coat, sou'wester, and sea boots.
		Palmer and Collins were unperturbed by these wagging tongues of the New York yards and remained confident in their convictions.

		The Palmer LTER study area is located to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula and centered on the region which surrounds Palmer Station (64° 40'S, 64° 03'W).
		The Antarctic Peninsula is a physical barrier to tropospheric circulation which is reflected in the sharp contrasts between the relatively mild maritime climate to the west and north of the peninsula and the harsher more continental climate to the east and south.
		Weather patterns at Palmer are strongly influenced by the linkages between cyclones, temperature and sea ice extent and these patterns continually shift between the influence of maritime as contrasted with continental climatic regimes.

		The PalLTER Grid is west of the Antarctic Peninsula and covers an area of 900 km (roughly parallel to the peninsula) by 200 km (on to off-shore) (Fig.
		The central hypothesis of the Palmer LTER is that many significant biological processes in the antarctic marine environment are strongly affected by physical processes, particularly interannual variability in the annual extent and dynamics of pack ice and variations in ocean currents.
		Established in 1990, the Palmer LTER focuses on the pelagic marine ecosystem of the Antarctic and the processes that link the extent of annual pack ice to the biological dynamics of different trophic levels in the waters west of the Antarctic Peninsula.

		The peninsula is surrounded by numerous islands, including the South Shetlands and the Palmer Archipelago.
		The northwest coast of the peninsula is believed to have been mapped by the British navigator James Bransfield in Jan., 1820, and was explored by sealers in 1820–21.
		First considered to be part of the continent, the peninsula was later (1928) thought to be a group of islands; the John Rymill expedition (1934–37) proved its peninsularity.

		In recognition of that discovery, Palmer's name has been officially identified with the southern part of the Antarctic Peninsula (Palmer Land) (2) and with the U. research facility (Palmer Station) on Anvers Island, off the Peninsula's northern coast.
		Her committmet to land investigations comes about because most of the Peninsula is accessible only by ship and ship's helicopters and boats, and, in the past, these have been available only occasionally to Palmer Station scientists.
		During the survey [to site what would become Palmer Station], it became apparent to the investigators that research programs would be considerably handicapped when icebreakers and their helicopters or other means of transportation were not available.

		According to Jeff Bechtel, leader of the Ocean Search and Rescue Team at Palmer Station, the members train bi-weekly and learn techniques to rescue a person overboard, rescue a stranded boat or boaters, care for an injured person on an island or track down a field team that is overdue on its estimated arrival time.
		Like the goals of other stations, Palmer's search and rescue teams' primary goals are to teach resident-workers about local hazards and prepare them for an emergency.
