Temperatures of the Ross Ice Shelf vary from about −5°C/23°F in the summer to about −35°C/-31°F in the winter with a record low recorded at -65°C/-85°F. These are bone chilling and deadly temperatures for humans. Meanwhile the Weddell seals just lay atop the ice and swim in the sub-zero waters to feed.

2,000 Miles at Sea | Bark Europa Day “0” - 1

The Australian man sits in the sun for a few hours reading a book. The Swedish man seems disappointed that he cannot shake my hand because of COVID.
