Chaotic sky over Rothera

by Ella Gilbert, British Antarctic Survey/University of East Anglia, London, United Kindom

A typical summertime sky at Rothera research station on Adelaide Island, Antarctic Peninsula. Streaks of icy cirrus drift above, with patches of stratocumulus below, providing a dramatic backdrop for the icebergs and white-capped waves of North Cove.
