Ice

At last there are bits of ice floating in the water! The pancake ice really does look like pancakes! Suddenly everyone on the boat is really excited again, like they were when we first left Hobart. It is a great feeling. There are till a lot of albatross around, along with a lot of other smaller birds . It is getting colder and colder and the ice is getting thicker. We are now seeing the occasional Weddell seal ontop of the ice and it is occasionally snowing. Here's a photo from the top of the Aroura at night with snow blowing through the spotlights.
