After a day of strong winds blowing from the north the ice broke up and moved away from station this week. As a result, the researchers were finally able to get off station and visit nearby islands and water collection spots. Meanwhile back at station, without the thick ice, we had some visitors.
A lone Adelie penguin.
Three Gentoo penguins.
A juvenile Southern Elephant Seal pretending he's a rock.
And lots of humans enjoying take out lunch on a calm sunny day.
