TGIF

Happy Friday! Because ship time is very expensive, we don’t (normally) get weekends here. In fact, operations are 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, most of us will get a day off tomorrow when we arrive at Rothera Station on Adelaide Island. This research station is the headquarters of British Antarctic research, and they will graciously host us for a few meals, outdoor activities, and traditional soccer match. After our 24 hour stop it will be back to work!

Today has been very crisp and clear. As we get closer to the Antarctic continent and islands we’re passing more and more icebergs. The scenery is phenomenal!
