We got a tour of the Palmer Research Vessel today. It is a research vessel that goes out to sea for all sorts of marine and aqua studies for up to three months at a time. It passes between Palmer Station and ours in it’s travels, and has crew of around 30 people - including scientists. We thought our place was small, but they all live on board the ship and never get a day off till they disembark. Needless to say, when they fly out they are really ready to leave. It was fun walking through the narrow halls, seeing their mess hall, and the main deck where the captain steers the ship. Here are some of the pictures I took -
