Day 21 – A draw and two wins

November 28, 2022 at 7:11 pm

Klemens, Hannah and Thomas start the day watching Germany’s second first round match at the Football world cup. After losing the first game against Japan, the German team must now beat Spain to stay in the game. The tight match ends up being a 1:1 draw. Luckily, Japan lost it’s second match so that Germany still had a chance to make it to the second round.

After the match, Thomas, Robin and Dave gear up to drone the final colonies of the Northwest coast while Jeff and Hannah head back to Crater Bay to do the same with the penguin colonies missed out on the other day. It is another gorgeous day with breath taking vistas. After droning the inaccessible penguin colonies, Thomas attempts to record a vertical panorama to survey a sooty albatross colony that appears to be glued to a vertical cliff covered in wet moss.

The Light-mantled sooty albatross wall reconstructed from about 30 drone images.

Both teams are back with accomplished missions before 5pm. After dinner, two camera loggers are prepared with AxyDepth dive loggers and deployed on two unsuspecting females from the rock platform colony closest to the hut. Fingers crossed we will get the first video data tomorrow!
