Fishin' Antarctica Style

Current Temp Ambient:      18      Windchill:      5
Windspeed (knots):              14
Sunrise:                                Negatory
Sunset:                                 Nope

A friend of mind down here is a scientist working on a fish project.  Yesterday she ran into some scuba divers who offered to film her fishing from under the ice.  The video shows an number of interesting things:

  a) she needs to work on her technique;
  b) the absolute clarity of the water down here;
  c) the diverse and dense wildlife in the Ross Sea; and
  d) the Sea Ice from underneath.
