We’ve reached Heard Island & McDonald Islands (HIMI) 🌋a volcanic, glacier-covered archipelago in the remote Southern Ocean. Our cameras are collecting HR imagery to study ocean surface dynamics in this unique environment. 🌊📡 @atoffoli.bsky.social @pxh.bsky.social #HIMI #RSVNuyina #PolarResearch

First oceanographic buoy deployed at 56S!🛰️ Part of the OSIA project,this MetOcean SVP-B will drift across the Southern Ocean,sending real time data of surface velocity profile and near sea surface properties to improve our understanding of air-sea interactions @pxh.bsky.social @atoffoli.bsky.social

A beautiful and rare view of finger rafting in Antarctic sea ice, captured a few hundred kilometres from Casey Station by our expeditioner @ippy90.bsky.social @pxh.bsky.social @antarctic.bsky.social

We’re off tomorrow on Voyage 1 with the @antarctic.bsky.social 🚢❄️🌊🇦🇶 On the RSV Nuyina, our cameras will capture key #ocean & #seaice properties to understand how sea ice forms, melts, and interacts with the climate system. Stay tuned for updates!🐧🧊 @atoffoli.bsky.social @pxh.bsky.social
