Shirley Island is spearated from the Mitchell Peninsula by a narrow channel, on which the sea ice has managed to hold fast despite much of the ice in Newcomb Bay blowing out several times already. A shortstroll out from Station and Mat, Zac, Watto and I were exploring new terrain. My first sea ice stroll and much excitement in seeing my first Weddell seal.
