First video images recorded

The whole Sunday afternoon I was thinking "Should I go out... or not?". The weather was just at the limit and some colleagues went out, but I decided not to go and wait for today. The forecast was very good, but when I looked out the window this morning, it was still windy and there were waves with crests on the cove.

Farewells...

This day was just another day in the row of stormy days that we are experiencing since I don't know when. But even without working in the cove, it gets hardly boring here.

Goodbye, hello, penguins and seals

This morning we said farewell to the members of Jubany crew who are heading back to Buenos Aires and beyond. However, we then heard that, due to the bad weather, the plane coming to pick them up could not land and so they would stay a little longer.

Today, despite the grey, windy and wet weather, we were happy to continue and complete our work on Lake Mateus. We went back to the base for lunch and met members from the Argentinian Navy, plus our old friends from Bellinnghausen (Russia), Frei, INACH (Chile) and Artigas (Uruguay) bases for lunch.

News from Jubany!!!

We left from Mar del Plata on October 30th, and after sailing with the Polar Pioneer for 8 days we arrived at Jubany. It was a great trip, excellent weather and opportunities to see dolphins and especially a high richness of sea birds. We really thank and appreciate the chance to travel with Polar Pioneer!

Fieldwork in a blizzard

Unfortunately it was not possible for the caleta sailing team (aka Christian, Nina, Anne and Dolores), or Ilona and Jule to go out to work today. The wind was too strong. Steve, Tamara and I, however, braved it back to GPS Lake 15 to continue some lake coring.

Bright day, interrupted work, and eclipse of the sun

Posted by Christian Hass (AWI), Germany on 28 November 2011

Yesterday was one of the brightest days that I have ever experienced at Jubany. There was virtually no wind and the sea surface was very smooth. A day to go to the outer parts of Potter Cove. We could arrange that and off we went for a RoxAnn survey.
