My days at Rothera are very varied everyday of the week. On Wednesday I

Went diving at Hanger Cove jumping in between the sea ice (that looked like a slushie) to help with collections and putting down new sediment panels.

Repaired the sewing machine at Fuchs last week and so I sewed up some parts for the Air Mechs for holding flags in the plane and for covering a tube of some sort.

Went to the woodwork shop for several hours and started making a book case for Claires christmas present. I also made Henry and the girls some christmas tree ornaments – cut outs of a seal, whale and penguin.

I was meant to go for another dive to measure limpets but a leopard seal appeared just as we were about to jump in.

Two boating trips one to north cove to collect sea ice for two different studies. One trip to Lagoon which was a long one as we had three different studies to do out there – soil sampling and searching for liverwort species of plant.

My normal morning of 5km rowing in the gym and then a walk around the point in the evening.

Met Training to learn how to do field met obs for aircraft operations.

A talk by the Larissa scientists who just got back from the Larsen about their project.
