Flying into the sunrise

by Katharina Gerdel, Institute of Ecology, University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria

This picture was taken during an open ocean cruise 2018 (GEOMAR) with the RV Poseidon (Kiel). A bunch of northern gannets and other sea birds accompanied the ship at this beautiful moring sunrise on our way to the upwelling zone of Mauritanias coast.
