Patagonia, in Chile, is home to fjords that once teemed with wildlife. But the ecosystem is under threat, explains biologist and Rolex Awards Laureate Vreni Häussermann: CallToEarth PerpetualPlanet
Editor’s Note: Call to Earth is a CNN initiative in partnership with Rolex. Vreni Häussermann is a Rolex Laureate. On the Pacific fringes of Chile lies a biological haven. Along the Patagonian coast, surrounded by majestic snow-capped mountains, corals live among some of the deepest fjords in the world. New species are being discovered here; there are still areas waiting to be documented. But even as the reefs’ secrets reveal themselves, there is trouble in paradise.
He told CNN in an email that feces and uneaten pellets from salmon farms are a potential source of nutrients in the water, but argues that in most cases the nutrient increase is localized around the farms. He added that the industry operates within strict environmental regulations and has implemented technologies to mitigate any negative impacts. He says any impact on biodiversity is “multifactorial,” citing “climate change, pollution and other anthropogenic factors.

Hard-boiled eggsThere are countless methods for making hard-boiled eggs, and as many opinions regarding which is the right one. The whole exercise can be frustrating, particularly for those of us who boil eggs only once or twice a year. Do I start the eggs in cold or hot water? How long do I boil them for? Should I shock them in ice water? And if so, when? And what about steaming eggs, or cooking them in the oven?I have a method I settled on years ago, when I worked with a high-end restaurant group in Los Angeles and had to boil dozens of eggs every week. The method is simple, and forgiving.Place the eggs in a pot just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Add enough cool water to cover the eggs by one inch. Bring the water to a boil and cook the eggs for three minutes. Then remove the pot from the heat and leave the eggs in the hot water to finish cooking. Depending on how you like your eggs, you might leave them in the water anywhere from five to 15 minutes before cooling them in ice water.If you wait as little as five minutes before cooling, the yolks will be soft — with a rich golden color — and the whites will be firm but silky. Let the eggs sit in the water longer, and the yolk will continue to firm up, lightening in color.I like to leave the eggs in the hot water for 15 minutes, which is long enough to fully cook the yolk without leaving it chalky. Then I place the eggs in a bowl of ice water until they’re cool enough to peel. That’s it.Don’t worry about overcooking the eggs. Because the water is slowly cooling over time, you’re unlikely to find any of that dreaded grayish-green color in the yolk. I’ve even left the eggs in the water for a half-hour before cooling and haven’t had any problems.And I haven’t had to worry about exploding eggs either. (You know, when the shell cracks and egg white seeps out like molten lava.) Because the eggs start in cold water, they’re less likely to crack as they boil. The trapped air has time to slowly bubble out of the porous shell w
