Dry Valleys - Sand Dunes trip
Went on a day trip to get a view of the Sand Dunes in the dry Valleys and an idea of how to set boundaries for it. Possibly use river as a natural boundary...
Pictured above: Landing site at area with good vantage point for sand dunes (special feature) and Lake Vanda in the Dry Valleys.
Pictured below: Sand Dunes at bottom of picture (a unique habitat in Dry Valleys). Classified as a special feature. Glacier on the left mountain.
Helo ride over the sea ice edge...
ICEBERG!!!
Sea Ice Floes
On the ride we saw penguins in the water and on the sea ice edge...
There were seals laying out as well.
We were hoping to spot some orcas, but had no luck this time. Although we probably just missed some because there was some V's that disturbed the water surface indicating some whales had just dived down under the sea ice.
