we are closing in on home - unfortunately wallowing in 4 m swell from a couple of directions and fog but at least getting further north each day... #TAN2502 #Antarctica (noting that the image I casually grab a section of has #NOAA marked at the bottom 😟 )
We've had science talks all the way back interspersed with other fun stuff - tonite was quiz night. My contribution were questions on #TeTiriti and #SplitEnz (mindful that 70% of the team of from not NZ 😉 )

Managed to recover our ocean glider last night after a 10 day mission. 24hr daylight helps - that plus amazing weather. (img : Hana Ishii) You can see the little workboat returning with the glider aboard.

We made it to the Ross Ice Shelf edge this afternoon. I gave a quick science talk on ice shelves on board when we were an hour away and at the end got to say - "ok go outside an look at a real one - in fact the biggest one". People were suitably blown away - a 40 m high wall of ice that disappeared into the horizon in both directions. #Oceanography #Antarctica #IceShelves #TAN2502

Dropped our little work-boat off, to in-turn drop off an even smaller robot #oceanglider. This is to do buoyancy tests. The team were very well-rugged up. If the tests go ok we'll retrieve the glider and steam south for a few hours then deploy later tonight sending the glider on a 10 day mission to head northwards measuring heat/salt/oxygen flow. #TAN2502 #Antarctica #Oceanography (img: Hana Ishii)
