People
In addition to the officers and crew of the RV Yuzhmorgeologiya, there
are generally 25 researchers on board the ship during our survey. Most
of these people are working primarily on the AMLR Scotian Sea krill
survey, but they also contribute to the LINKES project. This year, the
ship is also home to two research groups studying nutrients
and light availability in the Southern Ocean. Living and
working with 25 people in a 300' ship for six weeks at a time is not
easy, however being on the ship is generally an extremely fun and
enjoyable time. People work around the clock (24 hours a day, seven
days a week) when they are at sea, so that explains any signs of bed
head, coffee deprivation, or napping contained in the pictures below.
