Apologies for the delay between blog posts,
but it has been all go aboard the JCR over the past few days. Having finished
up at Marion Cove on Sunday afternoon – all rather exhausted but buzzing after some
successful data collection - we steamed to our next exploration site: Borgen
Bay, located on the SE of Anvers Island. We are currently about two thirds of
the way through our science here and it has been all go – sleep, eat, science
interspersed by some precious moments up on the Monkey Island to take in the
breath taking views. It’s hard to put into words just how spectacular this
location is….so here are some pics!
Borgen Bay – surrounded by mountains and
glaciers. Highest peak is 2825 meters.

All being well, we should be leaving Anvers
Island later tonight, when after some rest and recuperation we will fill in the
gaps in the blog, explain some more about the science, and life on Antarctic
waters. Keep posted!
