Whoops! We missed a week. Sorry- can we blame it on travel brain? Anyway- hi, we are back with more stories. Jake depresses us with a story of human sacrifice and 1 jaguar sacrifice. But we learn about the Aztecs and they are pretty...brutal. Then Jana takes us to the edge of the world and 13,000 ft down into a subglacial lake in search for Organism 46-B.
