I recently had the opportunity to travel to Costa Rica to help survey/map the cloud forests around Texas A&M's new Soltis Center for Research and Education. It was a great experience and I hope to return soon.
The view from my cabin
Navigating the forest
Surveying the forest
What would a jungle trip be without a little vine swinging
The bat cave... I did crawl in there, but not too far.
A view of the top of the canopy
Strawberry poison dart frog. This was only one of the poisonous inhabitants of the forest.
Another... The Eyelash viper, small and deadly.
Arenal, one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
Some of the waterfalls we encountered in the forest.
Alberth with a coral snake (red on yellow kill-a-fellow). We also saw two fer-de-lance which are among the most poisonous snakes in the world... I didn't get close enough to them to take a photo.
