more charismatic megafauna


Saw minke whales off Hut Point this evening. A lot of the ice has been blown out into the channel that the icebreaker made so the whales have come close to McMurdo. The tanker ship arrives tomorrow and the bars all close while the sailors are in town.

Also got a good picture of a skua flying around us while we were watching the whales. There was one lone Adelie penguin wandering around too.

  1. Dear Dan and Karen,
    I do think you have to somehow become a follower in order to leave a comment. But I cannot remember how to become a follower. If I stay distracted from thesis work just a little bit longer I will probably figure it out and let you know!
