As a scientific diver in the U.S. Antarctic program, Kaiser has spent ten seasons in Antarctica, and is well connected within the community of Antarctic researchers. He was also the producer and underwater cameraman for Werner Herzog's Antarctic documentary, Encounters at the End of the World. But over the past few days, he says, "I keep finding out more and more people who are affected and potential scientific losses I didn't know about."
