Happy (belated) #AntarcticaDay! This continent and associated marine environment are critical for the entire planet. And human activities are already causing major shifts in this remote region of the world.

Happy #AntarcticaDay;
Factlets;
🇦🇶 is the coldest, driest, & most remote place on 🌍.
🇦🇶 The lowest temperature ever recorded was -89.2°C.
No one owns 🇦🇶 but >nations work together to study & protect it, making it a symbol of unity.
All time zones converge at the poles so 🇦🇶 has no official time zones.

Thread: Today is #AntarcticaDay, a day to celebrate the treaty that recognizes Antarctica as a preserve for peace and scientific study.
It also feels like the perfect day to share this exciting news.

Happy #AntarcticaDay! Here I am almost 20 years ago, rising above the McMurdo Sound sea ice with Mount Erebus steaming in the distance. I still think about Antarctica all the time.

(working in Antarctica led, in a very roundabout way, to me studying Indo-Pacific reef fishes & biodiversity)

If you've walked on this special part of the world you'll have Penguin Memories for life. For one, they're a little stinky. They're also awkward on land, but in water they immediately transform into sleek, graceful torpedoes. These young Adélie penguins, identifiable by the distinctive white ring around their eyes. They are standing on a rocky, snow-dusted shore. The curiosity is mutual. Antarctica Day, December 1, commemorates the signing of the Antarctic Treaty in 1959. The treaty sets forth strict guidelines to protect the very important ecosystem of the Antarctic Continent. Today, China and Norway routinely ignore the treaty, scooping up tons, upon tons of Krill. Krill is the building block of pretty much the entire food chain, shrimp and other crustations depend on it, as do penguins and whales.

Happy Antarctica Day to those celebrating! Consider toasting the day with a warm and comforting Fry's Cocoa - it worked for "Scott at the South Pole," right?

Looking down and over the railing of our expedition ship into the rippled water of the bay. Reflections of the chiselled peaks can be seen in the water, decorated with scattered ice flowing through it. The landscape is stunningly harsh, although it's beaty and warmth radiate all around …or it could be that it's Valentines Day.

Happy #AntarcticaDay, everyone! Today Dec 1st commemorates the anniversary of the signing of the Antarctic Treaty in 1959.

Remember: there's more than (truly amazing) whales 🐳, seals 🦭 and penguins🐧 in its icy waters, and they also deserve some (research) attention and resources 🪸🪼.

Our black zodiac skips across fairly calm waters to Detaille Island, and its decommissioned research station. The mid-morning sun sends rays shooting through blue sky, with ribbons of bright white clouds. Antarctica Day, December 1, commemorates the signing of the Antarctic Treaty in 1959.

Since the last one went over so well...another amazing Antarctic punk-rock crustacean..I believe is the amphipod Epimeria sp. 🧪🦑🇦🇶🌍🪱

Happy Halloween! Today, I bring you one of the weirdest (and COOLEST!) creatures collected on our research trips ...a giant amphipod (Paraceradocus sp. I believe). They burrow in this slit-like holes in muddy sediments! Found on our research cruise to East Antarctica in 2023 (NBP23-03). 🦑🇦🇶🧪🦑🐧

#Antarctic #amphipods are wild!

Currently 564 amphipod species are known in the Antarctic and 417 species in the sub-Antarctic! Commonly known as sand hoppers, sand or sea fleas, scuds, or sideswimmers.

Now we're talkin' ! Pix of the Antarctic Labidiaster annulatus with arms extended into the water! These use fairly big trap-like structures called pedicellariae to capture krill! This image from www.oikonos.org which has sadly taken down their field guide to Antarctic species. #echinoday
