B-009 Field Team Leader and PhD student Parker Levinson takes us on a quick tour of a well-outfitted sea ice snowmobile sled in this new project video filmed by lead scientist Prof. Jay Rotella. The filming location is near the beautiful Big Razorback Island Weddell seal pupping colony in the Erebus Bay Study Area. (Note the penguins in the distance!)
Sea ice safety is of paramount concern to the Weddell Seal Population Study field team. The snowmobiles and sleds the team uses for their field research are always outfitted in the field with appropriate tools and gear to accomplish the team's work safely during their many days traveling the sea ice from Weddell seal pupping colony to colony during the entire pupping season in Erebus Bay. Hope you enjoy the video!
