Pics 1

This vehicle is one of the Deltas. These are used to shuttle passengers out across the sea ice to the airfield and other locations. I got to ride shotgun in this pup. Pretty sweet.














Here's a group of Weddell seals just chillin' out on the sea ice off hut point ridge. It was damn cold this day and it amazes me that these animals are comfortable in this environment.













This image here is of a Skua bird. Skuas are some of the heartiest birds on Earth; they need to be to live down here year round. They're utterly fearless too. Sometimes when people walk out of the galley with food the Skuas will swoop down and try to knock whatever food items the person has out of their hands to get a tasty meal.
