Another thing I made this year: Real and implied birds.

A six-panel cartoon titled "real and implied birds". In the two panels in the top row, there's a rough legged-hawk sailing through the sky, next to a smooth legged hawk, which has smooth human legs. In the second row, there's a great-crested flycatcher looking dapper, next to an ok-crested flycatcher that has just a slightly less nice crest. In the third row, there's a mountain chickadee standing up on stones, next to a valley chickadee peeking out from a dip between stones. In the fourth row, there's a least bittern standing in some reeds, next to a most bittern that is enormous and stomping through a city, with people running in fear, helicopters overhead, and an overturned car on fire.

After two weeks of ice and darkness we got a tiny glimpse of daylight today! 🤩 @rimskaya.bsky.social @cdeepsea.bsky.social

We are currently breaking ice with the RV Kronprins Haakon in the polar darkness, trying to get to our sampling station 🌌🧊❄️ Turns out that the route through the ice is rarely a straight line! @cdeepsea.bsky.social @rimskaya.bsky.social

The bridge of the research vessel seen from the front deck, darkness only broken by the lights of the ship. The ship is covered by ice.

Hard at work sorting through samples from last night! #focus @rimskaya.bsky.social

We are headed out for a research cruise with @cdeepsea.bsky.social into the polar night, hoping to find some nice worm forests and other cool animals from deep-sea chemosynthesis-based ecosystems 🤓 #WormFEST #CBEArctic 🪱🐌

Heading north, where the night deepens. 🌌

Our goal: catch as many deep-sea creatures as possible for scientific research. 🪱🐙🦑🪼🦀

We’re a small but determined deep-sea biology team 🐟🌊 aboard the RV Kronprins Haakon (Norsk Polarinstitutt, IMR, UiB) together with @mariheilertsen.bsky.social
