By far the most populous wildlife has been birds. They accompany us through all conditions, often riding the winds that flow up over the ship (A colleague, Ian, actually had these winds modelled so that we can understand their impacts on our measurements). We have observed what appear to be birds in our radar measurements. And certainly there are signs of birds on the instruments themselves (…see previously posted photo). One scientist said he spotted a rare bird…. Not sure the type.
Birds on an ice floe.
