Back in January we told you about Jennifer Loxton's trip to the Antarctic to study environmental conditions beneath the waves using HOBO U24-002 Data Loggers. Now she is back, and published some fantastic underwater pictures!

"You may think that not much can survive in the challenging conditions of the Antarctic, but here I would like to share with you some pictures from my recent diving experiences on the West Antarctic Peninsula and introduce you to some of the creatures that live there so join me in a virtual dive in Antarctic chilly waters..."

Be sure to check out some of the fantastic photos on her Twitter page.

About Jennifer Loxton's research
With such harsh conditions, have you ever wondered how marine creatures have evolved to survive at the bottom of this ocean? Have you ever considered whether things were the same in the times of great polar adventurers, like Scott, Shackleton and Amundsen

Thankfully, we don’t have to brave the extreme conditions that Jennifer Loxton, of Heriot-Watt University, will be facing in Antarctica. She is awarded funding for a project investigating the effects of climate change there, and will be making use of the HOBO U24-002 Conductivity/Salinity Data Loggers supplied by us.
