We're currently coasting through the gnarliest storm on the planet at a cool 5 knots. Thankfully, @TheJR is as seaworthy as they come. Waves are between 9-10 meters, and saluting us at the Bridge Deck windows.

A surprising visitor delighted us at sunrise today; an eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) all the way out at the Shackleton Site U1385. Eagle owls are one of the largest species, growing up to a length of 75 cm with a wingspan of 188 cm! #exp397 @TheJR

The sun rises lazy and hazy on @TheJR, as we begin our two week countdown to the end of #exp397.

Good morning from @TheJR! We're right off the coast of Portugal, and it's a glorious day for science at sea.

@marialenakion Please do, anytime! We have a spare room and a pup that needs more cuddles! 😉

[Alyssa Stephens @magellanics2]

@marialenakion Sending you love and hugs. I miss you, sweet friend! <3

@GeoTamborrino Herzlichen Glückwunsch Dr. Tamborrino! :)

[Alyssa Stephens @magellanics2]

@N1cK_L0gAn @TheJR Epiiic in every way! Hope you're enjoying your land time. 🙂

[Alyssa Stephens @magellanics2]

The seas are picking up some on @TheJR. Only question is, will this storm be as good as the last big storm on #Exp396? 🙃

[Alyssa Stephens @magellanics2]

@KaraVadman @TheJR Yesss I love these pics! Think we're safe from the rolls this time. 😆

[Alyssa Stephens @magellanics2]

@N1cK_L0gAn @TheJR 😅 Fair. Been watching Windy though, and it's not even close. Miss you and the rest of the 396 crew!

[Alyssa Stephens @magellanics2]

@RemoteLongitude Wish you were here! 🤩 I'm securing my office just in case.
