We left station in the afternoon as the sun was setting. The lighting was very dramatic.
We had a make a stop at the Ukrainian station south of us so we sailed down there over night.
We waited in the bay near the station. We got invited by the Ukrainians to visit the their station (called Vernadsky).
It was another perfect calm day and with another beautiful sunrise.
We lowered a zodiac into the water and motored through the sea ice.
Curious crab eater seal.
Vernadsky station about 30 miles due south of Palmer.
The water is very clear this time of year.
Their gym.
An ice fish in their aquarium.
The generator biulding!
Lounge area was very nice.
Galley.
After the quick visit it was time to go back to the ship.
The going was slow through the pancake ice.
Very pretty day and a great opportunity to see another station.
The trip north was very calm, the weather was good and the Drake was pretty flat.
