On board the Clipper Odyssey a number of the Young Explorers created special projects, many of them mentored by Harriman Scholars. The projects include tracking whales, ocean temperature and salinity, photojournalism, and forest resource management. In 1899 Edward Harriman assembled a distinguished team of scientists and artists and took them on a two-month survey of the Alaska Coast. In the Harriman Expedition Retraced, scientists, naturalists and artists are observing anew the sites visited by Harriman's scouting parties a century ago.
