8-March Scott Island.- day 2The scientists spent the day exploring the seabed around Scott Island all day today.
Scientist, Kareen Schnabel, got all excited about the king crabs seen by the underwater camera and got some good footage and samples for her collection. Kareen cornered me today askign if could design a voyage T-shirt? So, together with Stephan, the Italian Scientist, we set to work on the design. We came up with several options and the crew voted on their favourite one - a view looking through a porthole with angler fish, a seapig, penguiins all topped off with a king crab creeping over the top.
This is one dramatic piece of rock, large areas of dark volcanic rock contrasting strongly with layers of white icing of the snow cap. Apparently during the winter, the whole island is covered by snow and ice. Feeling inspired by this rugged bit of rock, I start painting. Bob, the ice pilot, was impressed and mentioned interestingly that this might in fact be the first time that Scott island has ever been painted.
