| The time has arrived: our huts have been moved onto the ice, the crew finalizes training tomorrow, and then...bumbumbum!...we move to the B-009 Big Razorback camp! (All Weddell seal images obtained under NMFS Permit No. 17236) |
 |
| A tour of the huts will come later, but this is basically what each hut is...a cargo container on skis. The tracked vehicle on the left is called a Piston Bulley, which we used to haul all our gear to camp in today. |

| Inside the equipment hut, viewing our moving-in mess. Pup weigh bags hanging on the wall in the background, propane heater with big metal pot to melt ice and snow for rinsing/washing hands and tools (cause we get kinda poopy), snowmobile helmet, water bottle freezer-preventer-thingy, first aid kit, and TP |

| Orienting the new guys, Jason and Eric, to the seals. Hello seal mamma and pup (one of the first born this season!) |
