Visit to the engine room, fascinating
A very entertaining science workshop by Zoe called What's a fjord?
Demonstrated the mixing of freshwater and Sea water which have different densities
Saw humpbacks at lunch time
In the afternoon we joined the science boat
to investigate the impact of climate change on plankton in the ocean.
Again Zoe was informative and entertaining
We measured temperature and salinity at different depths
Results from science boats are reported to Scripts Research
Nature landing on the spit to view elephant and fur seals, also Gentoo penguins
Didn't stop long cos I was so cold after sitting in the zodiac ( but the wine at dinner warmed me up!!)
In the evening we joined Brendan in the Explorer Lounge to sing sea shantiesBaca selengkapnya
I love a good sea shanty! The Climate Change analysis must be humbling [Karina]

Our last nature landing before sailing back across Drake Passage
Chinstrap penguin colony high up on the rocks
Had to make way for lots of comings and goings to the sea, dirty Chinstrap parents making their way down very carefully ( messy tummies covered in red barf)
Clean Chinstrap parents returning to their nests with clean white tummies
Lookout over numerous glaciers
Brendan spotted a juvenile Emperor on a slope in the distance
Visit to the Bridge, very interesting to see how it all works!
Drawing plankton and phyto plankton, fascinating things to draw!
The Crew Band performed in the Explorer Lounge, really impressive, many popular numbers and lots of dancing, good fun!Baca selengkapnya

Hari 15
Drake Passage
22 Januari, Antartika ⋅ ☁️ 0 °C
Watched the St Andrews University presentations, algae distribution, whales and micro plastics (which explains all the work that's been going on at our landing sites)
No more landings now...
We made a few mistakes with dressing at first but the routine has become engrained over the 16 days...
base layers, leggings, fleeces, waterproof trousers, thick socks, muck boots, red jacket with ID card, life jacket, neck warmer, hat, gloves ... for every trip, takes a while to get prepared

Handing back our muck boots and patches today!

Expedition routine from the Black Box was amazing, so well organised and supervised
ID checked, boot dip and a goodbye before boarding the zodiac, always the same boarding routine (you need to have your wits about you!!)
On return boots cleaned on the bristle machine, disinfectant dip, then ID check and personal welcome back...so slick!

Towel folding activity, I can't believe we're doing this !!
Interesting dinner with some BIG waves, had to hang on to our wine glasses

Karaoke in the Explorer Lounge.
I went to bed before Ts turn😂Baca selengkapnya
Pelancong Hope you had your Kwells!! 🌊
