The weather up here in Icy Bay turned into winter. Rain, sleet, snow, and ice. It's not bad here, though, because we're surrounded by mountains, so we're protected from the 30 knot winds blowing offshore. We've been surveying at 3 knots as we nose our way through ice, sometimes making the whole ship shudder as we glance off a growler or bergy bit (official sizes of icebergs). The weather lifted briefly for a bit today so we all went outside to take pictures of the pretty mountains and blue glaciers.
