Here’s a time-lapse video taken taken from the bridge of a research icebreaker as the ship carves forward through the ice of Antarctica’s Ross Sea. It’s two months of sequences, condensed into less than five minutes. Enjoy the penguin ending …
The video’s producer and narrator is Cassandra Brooks, a Stanford University doctoral student. Brooks spent two months in 2013 aboard the National Science Foundation-operated icebreaker Nathaniel B. Palmer as part of a research cruise investigating the role of dissolved organic carbon in the Ross Sea ecosystem.
