And that's the season over. Halley has such a special place in my heart. It's so rare a glaciologist gets to be part of station life the way you do at Halley. A proper little family for three months. ❄️ Nowhere else quite like it! @bas.ac.uk

Picking up the seismometers after they've been deployed for 5 weeks, and this one had some little footprints from a curious Skua! I wonder if I'll see any pecking in the data 🐦

Every evening we sit and wait for a satellite call from Rothera to check our field team of four is all ok. This evening's call was accompanied by a slowly lowering sun on the horizon. The summer season slowly drawing to a close 🌅

A quick visit from Ollie and his twin otter and that's all our ice cores picked up and on their way to Halley!! Now just to let the seismometers do their thing for a few more days, and then home time!!
