Fancy #Antarctic mini-doco on our 2024 #RossSea voyage with the Italian team aboard their Laura Bassi icebreaker who have worked the region for decades. The younger scientists aboard built collaborations that will last years -IF- we can support these young researchers and all their energy and ideas. See if you can spot who was interviewed after nearly 2 months at sea vs those back on shore 🤔 #climate #science #ECR The majority of the vid was by the wonderful #LanaYoung who is now in the UK.

Measurements from 'lost' #Seaglider offer new insights into Antarctic ice melting https://phys.org/news/2024-11-lost-seaglider-insights-antarctic-ice.html paper: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.ado6429
"The glider, named Marlin, was deployed in December 2022 into the #RossSea from the edge of the sea ice. Carrying a range of sensors, it was programmed to travel northward into open water... However, Marlin was caught in a southward-flowing current and pulled into the ice shelf cavity where it remained, with its sensors on, for four days before re-emerging."

🌊❄️ Cyclones aren't just about strong winds – they shape our oceans too! In the #RossSea, they're key players in #seaice production and high-salinity shelf water formation. Read all about it in the article below 👇

sorry I've been a bit lazy when it comes to #BergOfTheDay - this fab one came by as we headed in to Robertson Bay 71S 170E - a place I've read about because I've worked on data from there but never visited...
totally amazing as the horizon is filled with peaks and glaciers on one side and bergs, sea ice and sky on the other...
the data are useful as the bay sits at a corner of the #RossSea and acts as a record of change.

Yesterday we were in 40knots wind, 3 m waves (that felt like 5 in this roller) and grinding lumps of #seaice… now you wanna swim in it… except it’s -1C water 🥶 #RossSea #Antarctica

In case any one was wondering where we are... we are aboard the Italian ice breaker Laura Bassi at the eastern limit of the #RossSea

we crossed the date line yesterday so got to go back in time. (not really - we stick to NZ summer time) but it was a nice thought that maybe we could have two dinners 🤓 its pretty easy to cross those lines of longitude when at 78S

The last gasp of sunset as katabatic storm clouds plummet off the Antarctic continent.
Within half an hour Ross Island was completely enveloped in a maelstrom of wind and snow.
This storm heralded the start of Autumn and brought an end to an incredible weather window which we used to explore McMurdo Sound. Time to escape from the clutches of the freezing sea.
