With the government up and running again, we at Palmer Station went back to normal science and support activities and the ship headed north with just the folks who had finished their work here, instead of taking almost everyone home. There are now just 37 of on station.
Yesterday the sun came out and it felt like 50 degrees (probably was more in likely in the low 40's). Many of us went exploring the in backyard. I wanted to see how Bubba and mom, the Weddell seals, were doing. They too were enjoying the warmth.
There has been no wind and it had been cold so the sea is covered with new sea ice and old brash ice. Wish I could walk on it but it's not THAT thick.
