A short time-lapse of the clouds going by as we sat at Davis Station in East #Antarctica in 2023 on the RVIB NBP (NBP23-03 research cruise). 🧪🌎🦑🇦🇶🐧

August 20, 2020, we left San Francisco (USA) during the COVID-19 pandemic to get to #Antarctica (~60 day trip south before we could start science). Under the Golden Gate bridge and you see Alcatraz on the right. Fantastic moment on the NBP (NBP20-10) research cruise. 🧪🌎🦑🇦🇶🐧 (GoPro vid by C. Grimes).

That time in 2013 when this crabeater seal decided to see what this noisy orange menace was doing in its territory....In 2013 near Peter I Island in #Antarctica on our research cruise (LMG 13-12). Bonus (the 'wait for it' at the end): amazing sunset/sunrise around 1am that night :) 🧪🌎🦑🐧🇦🇶

Throwback to our 2013 research cruise (LMG 13-12) where we found this gigantic ctenophore in a plankton tow near Margaurite Bay on the Peninsula in #Antarctica. 🧪🌎🦑🇦🇶🐧
