Sink holes in the ice shelf re-freeze over winter, and when the ice expands as it freezes it causes these mini-volcano shapes to appear. Ice expands at roughly a 9:1 ratio when it freezes, so there was roughly 9 times the volume of this wee eruption in liquid water hidden just below the surface of the ice a few weeks before.Cape Bird penguin colony looking north over the Ross Sea, Beaufort Island is to the left.

Annual supply ship offload at McMurdo Station Antarctica, 2012.
Due to an unusually warm winter, the floating ice pier that is normally used to offload cargo melted badly during the summer, making it unusable. A temporary floating pier had to be installed.
Filmed with 4 Canon DSLRs, and a GoPro.
Over 150,000 photos were condensed down to make this video.
