I’ve had a group of scientists at the lodge this week studying the water and ice in Icy Bay. It’s been interesting learning about the salinity and temperatures at different depths in the bay. I took almost a thousand pictures this week…. but here are a few of the better ones.
Lots of interesting discussions happened on the front of the boat this week….

Recording the acoustics of the glaciers and icebergs
They had a little fun and netted this piece of ice. A little on the small side, but it chunked up perfectly for the Whiskey they had that night.
This morning was our last day out with this group, as we were loading the boat a sow and her two cubs started walking up the beach. I’m glad they didn’t get any closer.
We have another group of scientists coming in tomorrow to continue the glacier research, hopefully the icebergs cooperate a little more so we can get back there!

Great pictures again, Nick. Does everyone wear red for a reason?
