A pleasant surprise waited for us a few days ago. Before noon, Chilean station Eduardo Frei called us out on the channel 16th and half an hour later a helicopter landed in front of the Station, which brought us the mail.
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.
The wind (the video)
It actually can blow on Arctowski – we say then that “the evil is coming” or even more exactly “the fucking days are coming”.
Sphinx and Krzemien
Having used the window weather at the weekend, we went on two surrounding us peaks with Asia. Just behind the Ecology Glacier – Sphinx and Krzemien.
Iceland
The changing temperature gives once the thaw and another freeze the thaws caused, that’s why it is hard for us to move around the station not to “wriggle”. However, adding to it the crystal – clear water got a possibility of admiring the colorful views and taking beautiful photos.
