Gone with the wind

Today, after more than three days waiting for the airplane, six members of the Coupling oceanographic cruise leave King George Island to Punta Arenas in Chile. They finished the work here and they will enjoy a salad this night in a restaurant. We will remain here processing samples and sailing through the Bransfield Strait to Elephant Island. Below some more pictures of the Antarctic fauna. No ice for today.

Just a symbol of the ocean
