Farewell to Antarctica!
Stéphanie Pavoine. Based in Dumont D’Urville station
The campaign is over for the CEAMARC program. We arrange the materiel and the samples.

Final operations!
Stéphanie Pavoine. Based in Dumont D’Urville station
Thomas wakes me at 8h to do another filtration shift. The ship is moving slowly because of the Tubai. It pitches a lot. I finish my shift for better or worse, my stomach lurching.

Hard, hard!
Stéphanie Pavoine. Based in Dumont D’Urville station
We carry out filtrations all day long, alternating with David and Thomas.

Knowing how to adapt!
Stéphanie Pavoine. Based in Dumont D’Urville station
Impossible to carry out an operation this morning. Finally we can work after lunch. The program on board has changed. We must be back in three days. It has passed quicker than I expected.

The ocean, supreme master on board!
Stéphanie Pavoine. Based in Dumont D’Urville station
We have to begin work this morning at 10h; the contingencies of the passages at sea dictate our operations after lunch. An iceberg saves the morning: a pillar of ice stands in the air, tranquilly ignoring the law of gravity. Just to its side, waves are breaking on a massive paving stone pierced by a cave.

Icebergs in sight!
Stéphanie Pavoine. Based in Dumont D’Urville station
Morning free. We are sailing along the Mertz glacier. It is splendid, lost in the end of this gigantic world.

A touch of nostalgia.
Stéphanie Pavoine. Based in Dumont D’Urville station
I slept so much yesterday that I awoke, slightly ashamed, at 6h. I treat myself to a real breakfast.

Seasick, still!
Stéphanie Pavoine. Based in Dumont D’Urville station
I spent all day in my bunk. I am comatose when I’m not sleeping.

Seasick!
Stéphanie Pavoine. Based in Dumont D’Urville station
I am startled awake by Anne. One station to do. In turn, I wake David. It is 8h. We would have loved a little more sleep.
