Snow in the Antarctic Sound

Heavy snow in the middle of the Antarctic Sound. The scientists had to work in very cold conditions but happy to feel the snow on their faces. This was our last work on the Antarctic Sound. Now we are in the Drake Passage again, sampling to the north of South Shetland Islands. The wind is in calm but the swell is quite high. Last night was almost impossible to work. This morning we had to stop due to another problem with the Mocness net. Now, it is repaired but we are afraid of new damages. Below some more pictures of the fauna on board and, of course, some more ice.
