Rothera, Antarctica

With the temperatures staying consistently low (-16 degrees C here), sea ice is forming around Rothera point. Once the ice is fully formed our team of field assistants will do daily thickness measurements. When it is above 25cm we will be able to head out onto the ice for diving and recreation.

Perhaps not the best photo I have ever taken but this is what an Antarctic storm looks like. Winds gusting up to 60 knots and snow blowing at you so hard it becomes tricky to breathe, let alone see and walk. Lots of fun though.
