🚨 New paper alert! 🚨
Led by @elliehonan.bsky.social we used miniaturised GPS loggers to track snow petrels during a year when sea ice hit record lows 📉
Antarctic's toughest birds are more adaptable than we thought foraging in open water as well as marginal ice 🧊

I’ve been reflecting on my time at #WEF25 with @arcticbasecamp.bsky.social. I learned a lot and, while progress is slow, I met great people pushing for climate action. That gives me hope.

It may be winter solstice here in the UK but that means it’s mid-summer down in Antarctica.
While I’m looking forward to the longer days coming, the sun won’t set at Lake Untersee until the end of January!

Snow petrels live in the most extreme environments. They breed amongst boulders high on Antarctic nunataks where summer temperatures may be -15 Celsius. To find food they have to fly hundreds of kilometres back out to the edge of the sea ice

Made the most of the better weather yesterday to explore the area around Wolfs Fang and Echo Camp.
We were just mucking about for 10km but it’s pretty hard going through snow and ice.
Respect to Omar di Felice who is riding to the pole and towing his kit on a pulk!

It’s been a wild few days at Wolfs Fang!
The storm that pulled us out of Lake Untersee early hit us pretty hard, with peak gusts of 65 kts or 120 kph yesterday.
With winds that fierce we’ve not been able to do too much, just hunker down and wait it out.

Safely back at Wolfs Fang after a super productive 10 days at Lake Untersee.
Our plan was to stay longer, but the weather was forecast to close in so we got an early exit. We made it back just in time, the wind is howling outside!

Spent time sitting in a snow petrel colony today. The birds are busy pairing up. We’ve seen lots of displaying flights and the odd fight or two. During fights the birds often vomit stomach oil and we’ve seen birds flying around with orange stained feathers.
