McMurdo (MCM) Long Term Ecological site (LTER)
@mcm-lter.bsky.social
The NSF-funded LTER network has 27 sites around the World to gain a comprehensive understanding of ecological phenomena occurring over long periods of time and across broad spatial scales. We are one of 2 Antarctic sites. https://mcm.lternet.edu/
The MCM LTER team was at McMurdo Station 2 days ago when these guys made a rare visit right to the front of the station to say hi. They seemed like they wanted to tell us something youtu.be/bzyBJaAfxrg?...
Emperor Penguins right in front of McMurdo Station. Very rare, especially so early in the summer.
