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

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
