Road Closed

Well it is official; today the sea ice is officially closed. We are no longer allowed to drive or walk on the sea ice. This means that all of the fish huts and dive huts have been brought back here to McMurdo. So we will not have many more good animal photos until if/when the sea ice breaks out to MacTown. So I have been busy watching the public folder here and I have gotten allot of penguin and seal photos. Today I will share some seal photos. These are all from the Hutton Cliffs seal camp. Hutton Cliffs is just south of the Erebus Ice Tongue. The camp was setup just after mainbody started and they closed up camp about a week and a half ago. They are tracking and studying the Weddell Seal population here in the Ross Sound.
