06.02.2013 - Ice and fog



06.02.2013 (Wednesday). Cloudy sky. Ice interspaced with  large polynias. A few more amphipods from the planktonologists. I also still have a look at a few remaining specimens from the dredge. Still interesting species. Before going to bed, I see three emperor pinguins from my cabin. Too dark to take pictures of them.


 Eusirus laticarpus from the plankton nets (20 mm long).


06.02.2013 (Wednesday) The beginning of the week went quietly, we’re still waiting for the next sampling, while the krill survey people are working. The weather’s still foggy. Not many people are going outside, or not for long. The ice-plates are replaced by an endless layer of ice, it doesn’t seem that we’re on water anymore, but sliding gently on the continent. Like I said before, it’s always the same, ice and water, but still always different.
