Antarctica

Ship departure

12/15/2022

The Antarctic Research and Supply Vessel (ARSV) the Laurence M. Gould returned back to Punta Arenas, Chile, on Sunday December 11. It's always such a sight to see the  carefully choreographed procedures for releasing the ship from the new pier. Much work was accomplished to get everything ready for the return trip. People on the ship are already missed by those remaining on Palmer Station.

One of the returning passengers included Frigate Lieutenant don Thomas Gutierrez - a naval observer from the Argentinean navy, a fellow passenger and friend.

Have a safe journey home!!

    Not all of #Antarctica is covered in snow and ice. The western Antarctic Peninsula has seen nearly 90% of its glaciers retreat as a result of rapid warming. This retreat has exposed soils that are now subject to plant colonization.
