1/ Preparing the fishing hole in sea-ice
2/ Send a diver, or two, down the hole with a handy rope
3/ Go on, stop stalling, get down the hole!
4/ Great relief! the divers surface at the other hole
5/ The view from one fishing hole to the next
6/ When it is very cold, the fish freeze pretty much straight away on contact with the air
7/ Feeding the net into a bucket to take back to base and get the fish out
8/ Juvenile Notothenia neglecta
9/ Getting a fish out of the net
10/ Summer fishing isn't as cold, but can still be very uncomfortable
11/ Small boat fishing means pulling the net up manually
12/ The net is then brought back to base where it can be laid out
13/ Releasing fish from the net can be fiddly and uncomfortable!
14/ It can take a long time to go through a 30m net
15/ The net then needs to be straightened and stored neatly so it can be easily deployed again
