The Ezcurra bay is my favourite place. I came there just right after the arrival, in November and it still keeps me. I just have to go there once in a while.
At the Station
Crabeater seals in the Admiralty bay
As you already know, The Admiralty Bay is covered with ice, as we are happy about the winter weather. Meanwhile, our pinniped neighbours don’t have easy life.
Snowmobiles!
Temperatures finally have dropped below 0 definitely – the frost, which totals – 20 Celsius degrees is keeping up for a few days.
Station gym
The spirit of sport, despite the final wintering, isn’t still leaving us. Especially, that we have a gym in the Station, where we can exercise regularly.
Fire Security
I guess it is easy to imagine what risk is fire on the polar station. The participants of the 36th expedition could see it with their own eyes .They were seeing the fire of the Brazilian station Ferraz, which is located 9 km away on the second side of the bay.
Pinniped visitors
Perhaps, it is a merit of the light Winter, but it has literally swarmed of pinniped mammals in the area of the station for this time of the year.
