?? A crabby sense of humor. ?? Two crabs walk into a restaurant. One asks, “Do you make crab cakes?” The puzzled maitre d' answers, “Why yes, we do!” “Good,” says the crab, pointing to his friend. “Because it’s his birthday!” ?? While these lithode crabs probably aren’t planning a party, ROV SuBastian pilots caught them in close contact on dive 793 during the #AntarcticClimateConnections expedition. An international science team just spent almost a month exploring and studying the intricate ecosystems living at the interface between ice and sea. Their research will provide critical insights into the stability of the Antarctic ice sheet, affiliated deep-sea ecosystems, and how these systems will be impacted by climate change.
