@medickinson @keanewzealand @Peter_J_Beck Super great to see this clip. His Dad would be so proud, remember him so well. Our families had strong connections when we were younger.

Check out this amazing footage, perhaps the first showing a Minke Whale under water in the ice-covered Ross Sea. This footage was taken this season by Dr. Regina Eisert and her team from the University of Canterbury

#TussacTuesday "Peatlands cover just 3% of the worlds surface yet hold 30% of all soil carbon". The #Falklands have the highest percentage area covered by peatland (94%) of any country 😲(https://t.co/iRMeXrOk2J), and are internationally important for carbon storage... https://t.co/1lkcc4g1SB
