one more time to the ice has been answered...
we're nearing the eastern end of our shelf break transect (~100W).
lots of adelies welcomed us back to the ice throughout the day.
rumors are now flying about the ship as to where and what we do with
the next (and final) week. the most likely plan is to recover a
mooring which we unable to make leave the ocean floor about 5 degrees
ago, working our way back inside the ice and on the continental side
of the shelf break. but the schedule has been known to change, so
I'm anxiously awaiting what the decision is tomorrow.
i'm still spending quality time learning the complete capabilities of
the ken burns effect (ask me for a slideshow when i return), but i
recovered the motivation to perform an epic run of samples through
the Lachat today (no bubbles, no crises!), and the cruise report is
no longer looking quite as imposing. plus i received an email from
both(!) my siblings today. motivation slowly returning...
now if only the sun would come out.
