Morning all

Discovered a most interesting webcam the other day.

The Brits have taken this live webcam business to a new level.

They have a camera on board RRS (Royal Research Ship) Ernest Shackleton (was Polar Queen when we used it a couple of seasons ago) points forward, with 5 views, fwd, little left of fwd, more left of few, etc.

Whats more the hourly, or more, updates are saved and you can, if you had a lot of time to play with, go back to May 06!

They are presently on a voyage from Capetown to Halley.
Yesterday there were distant bergs, today they are in the pack!

Its only a webcam but a little of the on board excitement comes through!

Have a look:
