Penguins!
Adelie Penguins came across the sea ice & visited us at our base on Ross Island! A great day!
This is the Swedish Oden ice breaker ship (along with the coast guard ship- the Polar Sea- it breaks up the sea ice and creates a channel for our supply vessel to reach the base for off load) the little black dots in front of the ship are 75 or so Adelie penguins!

Wow! That is really cool. That ship looks pretty interesting. It must have an impressive engine by looking at those smoke stacks. How do they break the ice? Just ram through it?
