New(ish) pics up

I've uploaded a bunch of new pictures that I've been meaning to deal with for a while. You can see them all at: http://www.seren.net/gallery/palmer07/.









Briefly, there are aerial photographs taken by aircraft from the HMS Endurance last year and the year before, a group of us helping out the bird researchers measuring the stomach-contents penguins (yes, part of the birders jobs is to make penguins barf). Also the same birders deftly fitting penguins with radio transmitters on Humbolt Island.



There are also pics of a nifty foggy boat ride, complete with leopard seal (the grizzly of the Antarctic as they say). Raydene and some Chilean navy pilots all in their flight suits (which I assume Raydene brought down for just such an occasion).


More to come soon...
