Abstract:
The newsletter by the Marion 80 Overwintering team. Message from the editor and members. Hello from the little swampy volcano in the Southern Indian Ocean we call home, or Marion Island. The year has kicked off and the overwinterers have seled into their routines, just in me for it all to change. The Spring Edion of The Wanderer marks the beginning of a massive influx of wildlife onto the island, eager to breed and moult on this isle of paradise. Follow on as the chaos descends for field researchers alike and the hustle continues at the Base at Cabbage Point. ‐ Zafar
We are privileged to be part of the M80 overwintering expedition to Marion Island and in this first edition of our island newsletter, the Marion Wanderer. We are excited to introduce ourselves and give a briefing of what we have been getting up to as well as the beauty of Island life in the past four months since our arrival. It has been nothing but a wonderful journey up to so far, filled with joy, challenges and lessons.
