All done for Project RaCE:TraX on SD025, lots of seawater and mud to analyse thanks to all the support and enthusiastic help from amazing crew and scientists ❤️
#SDAScience continues, on to moorings and Hesperides Deep!
Fantastic creatures, Antarctic krill. They can live for 5+ years, grow to 5+ cm and have one of the largest biomasses. #SDAScience #RRSSirDavidAttenborough

Mixed emotions. Watching a pod of orcas including calves around the ship. But seeing the fierce side of nature as they hassle a humpback and calf #sdascience

Today the #SDAScience expedition is undertaking a 24 hour yo-yo CTD (100 trips to the bottom and back without stopping) to understand changes in the water with the tidal cycle! This gives the crew a chance to get the boats in the water and the scientists a chance to have a jolly!

A successful multicorer station near Elephant Island for @amberadium makes a happy scientist. #RRSSirDavidAttenborough #SDAScience

Tense moments as the multicorer hits the seabed and we watch the first sediment cores collected from #RRSSirDavidAttenborough from 2300m water depth somewhere near Elephant Island #SDAScience

On our slow transit doing science on the way to Antarctica most of the kit we put into the water comes back on deck, but these drifting buoys, or #Argo floats, deployed for the @metoffice, remain in the ocean collecting data on their travels with the currents. @ukargo #SDAScience
The first CTD science station from #RRSSirDavidAttenborough, really excited to see be here #SDAScience

The first ever polar waters science on the #RRSSirDavidAttenborough using the ship’s systems!
Important Ocean data and water samples collected by the CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth). #SDAScience
