04.02.2013 (Monday). Another cloudy
day . Today I feel better. I am still coughing but I am much less weakened as
yesterday. I should be able to work more
or less properly today. Nice jellyfish (Atolla
carpenteri) and pelagic polychaete worms (Vanadis antarctica and Tomopteris
carpenteri) in plankton nets. Also a second Eusirus propeperdentatus, bigger than yesterday, and a Cyphocaris aff richardi : orange-coloured and with a beautiful horn of unicorn. In
the afternoon we got another plankton sample with amphipods, such as Cyllopus lucasi.
The jellyfish Atolla carpenteri (diameter = 80 mm).
The pelagic polychaete worm Vanadis antarctica (length = 100 mm).
The pelagic lysianassoid amphipod Cyphocaris aff richardi (length = 25 mm).
The heperiid amphipod Cyllopus lucasi.
The antarctic krill Euphausia superba
A general remark. during this
cruise, we have seen so far extremely few large icebergs and no huge ones. Most
of the ice we have seen pack ice, a lot of pack ice.
