Another Antarctic krill survey done :) We mapped krill and marine mammal

Another Antarctic krill survey done :) We mapped krill and marine mammal abundance around the South Orkney Islands and can report a good year for krill and record high numbers of Humpback whales in the area. We also recovered and deployed oceanographic sensor, echosounders and sound recorders that stay in the area year round. Despite the looks most time was actually spent indoors staring at screens and instruments. Off to Patagonia now :)
