5th Friday
Fine breeze going before it: rolling heavily: Running Longitude down: expected to fall in with the Land the French discovered but found it missing: perhaps thier Quadrants were incorrect. Several Whales Spouting: a fine display of the Southern Lights in the first Watch night very fine.
Campbell's Notes:
Ross, Voyage, I. p. 276. ‘As soon as our damages were repaired, we made all sail to the N.E., on account of the wind having increased to a gale from E.S.E., placing our ships in a very critical situation; for on the chart which Lieutenant Wilkes was so good as to send me of the discoveries of the expedition under his command entitled a “Tracing of the Icy Barrier attached to the Antarctic Continent discovered by the United States Exploring Expedition,” is laid down a range of mountainous land extending about sixty miles in a S.W. and N.E. direction; its centre being in Lat 65°40 and Long 165°E with the eastern extremity of the barrier in 167½°<E., and thus presenting a formidable lee shore in our present position…’
Ibid. p. 277. ‘We were now desirous of sighting the land which had been the occasion of so much fatigue and uneasiness to us during the night we had passed, and our course was shaped accordingly…’
Ibid. p. 278. ‘As we advanced on our course in eager expectation of "making the land," our surprise and disappointment maybe imagined when no indications of it were to be seen at sunset, although we were not more than twelve or thirteen miles from its eastern extreme, as laid down on Lieutenant Wilkes's chart.’

World's Rarest Seabird: Amsterdam Albatross. Amsterdam Island, French Southern and Antarctic Lands. Isabelle Jouvie, Grenoble, France.
Jouvie’s passion for nature started at a young age. Encouraged by her father, Isabelle began photographing and sharing her work online. After acquiring a Master’s Degree in Geology, she spent 14 months working as an atmospheric chemist in the remote French and Southern Antarctic Lands where she documented the wildlife of Amsterdam Island. Aiming to share both natural beauty and important scientific knowledge, Isabelle plans to become a professional photographer.

Wave Clouds Over the Crozet Islands An astronaut aboard the International Space Station took this photograph of cloud formations while orbiting over the Crozet Islands, a part of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands located halfway between South Africa and Antarctica. Visible above the mountainous islands are a series of wave clouds that had formed in the lower atmosphere. The region around the Crozet Islands has produced similar cloud formations in the past. For example, they were visible in images acquired in 2012 and 2014. Wave cloud formations over these islands are a result of stable air masses over the South Indian Ocean flowing over and around the mountainous island terrain. When wind blows past a mountain, the air ascends the windward side causing the air to cool and its pressure to decrease. This allows moisture in the air to condense to form water vapor and clouds. As the stable air passes over the mountain peak, it is first pushed upwards; however, gravity then pulls the moist air downwards on the leeward side. The force exerted by the gravity compresses and warms the air, causing moisture in the air to evaporate. Wave clouds are produced when the warm air on the leeward side is pushed back upwards. The rising movement causes the moisture in the air to recondense and form more clouds, before it is forced back downward by gravity and evaporates again. The cycle repeats and forms a ripple pattern like those seen in this image. The Crozet Islands are not permanently inhabited, but they serve as a remote site for scientists studying Earth science, zoology, and ecology. One such scientific base is the Alfred-Faure research station on the Île de la Possession, where scientists specialize in studying populations of king penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus) in addition to other birds and mammals that live on the island. Astronaut photograph ISS068-E-39246 was acquired on January 8, 2023, with a Nikon D5 digital camera using a focal length of 50 millimeters. It is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations Facility and the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by a member of the Expedition 68 crew. The image has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast, and lens artifacts have been removed. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory as part of the ISS National Lab to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet. Additional images taken by astronauts and cosmonauts can be viewed at the NASA/JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth. Caption by Cadan Cummings, Jacobs, JETS Contract at NASA-JSC.

31st New Years Eve
Fine Stiff breeze in the forenoon: light winds in the Afternoon: passed a few Icebergs mostly very large: in the Evening Saw a quantity of broken Ice to Leeward. In the Afternoon got within the Antarctic circle: being farther South than either "French" or "Yankies" and still having every prospect of an open Season. At ten minutes before 12 PM the Sun began to emerge from below the horizon as if it were to welcome in the New Year. At 12 the hands were turned up to "Splice Main Brace" and welcome 1841.
Campbell's Notes: Ross, Voyage, I. p. 113. ‘The most interesting news that awaited us on our arrival at Van Diemen’s Land related to the discoveries made, during the last summer, in the southern regions by the French expedition, consisting of the Astrolabe and Zelée, under the command of Captain Dumont D’Urville, and by the United States expedition, under Lieutenant Charles Wilkes, in the frigate Vincennes.’ Ross goes on to detail the discoveries of the French expedition and his appreciation of Wilkes's writing to him and sending him a chart of his discoveries.

Ile Saint-Paul, French Southern and Antarctic Lands. Saint Paul Island in the southern Indian Ocean is an important breeding site for seabirds. A scientific research cabin on the island is used for short scientific or ecological campaigns, but there is no permanent population. It’s a volcanic island, triangular in shape, and measures about 5km at its widest point. Photograph: Patrick Hertzog/AFP/Getty : Source : Guardian Newspaper Best Thursday Photography
