I went on a 10 day leatherback turtle expedition with Earthwatch back in '93 (earthwatch.org) in St Croix USVI.
We intercepted & relocated eggs (beach erosion) retrieved hatchlings headed the wrong way, dug out nests (& the PhDs recorded hatched & unhatched & took latter for genetic tests), they took blood samples from turtle moms.
We located one w/ a radio harness: ancient large creature with antenna (cool & weird).
Standing on the point in the moonless night, in the trade winds, & the rolling surf: I guess as close to a spiritual experience as I will have.
