I have been uploading my Palmer Station videos to YouTube. On the settings (the small gear on the bottom right side of the viewing screen) select HD for the best quality.

| Fishing for science on a Sunday morning. |
 |
| We caught 14 Corrie fish. |
 |
| They will be reproduced in this lab during the winter. |
 |
| Later that same day I caught a ride with the divers who dropped me off at seal filled Torgensen Island. |
 |
| It was just me and about 200 fur seals. |
 |
| They weren't too pleased that I woke them from their Sunday afternoon nap. While some just opened an eye when I walked by some barked. |
 |
Really cool rock formations. |
 |
| Torgensen Island is only about a five minute ride from Palmer Station. |
 |
| An island to myself - an old Antarctic explorer. |
 |
| I tried not to disturb them but there were so many it was difficult to navigate around them. |
 |
| The island is full of jagged peaks like this. In the two hours I was here I walked around the island twice with a few traverses over hills. Without the packed snow it would be almost impossible to walk around. |
 |
| Palmer Station in the middle. |
 |
| A Weddell seal - rare for these parts. |
 |
| Okay - I'll leave. |
 |
| A fine science and dive team from UAB. Thanks for the ride! |
