paddle

The 36-year-old public school teacher takes a paddle boat through the inundated streets nearly every day.

It’s calm on the surface, paddling vigorously underneath.

In 2024, the first group of five Argentine students traveled to Lee Vining, where they and local students watched phalaropes along the shore, toured creeks and paddled canoes.

A year later, the last known paddle fish - a type of ray-finned fish which can grow to more than 3 metres - was accidentally caught by fishermen and, despite being radio tagged and released, disappeared.

But after hearing her scream, they paddled over and saw the dolphin repeatedly push her head underwater.
