9-March - The Firemans Helmet
After morning toolnox meeting we passed a beut non tablular iceberg we named the ‘Firemans Helmet’.
On station over and mapping the seamounts today. These are especially exciting spots for scientists as they often lead to discoveries of new species. A great variety of corals can be found on the volcanic rocks near the seamount peaks. Also found in abundance around seamounts is plankton which in turn attract the rest of the ecosystem.
