Steve studying the effect of pollution on the region, or measuring the ice melt -- of course, he's all about saving the planet, right? Dr. Carter is crushing on him too, but she also takes a genuine interest in his team of dogs, the Howling Commandos. And that night where he almost froze, the dogs saved him.
Thor's studying elephant seals and is one of those wackos who regularly goes swimming in the base harbor, in the nude. Visiting reseacher Dr. Jane Foster is plotting the stars in the southern sky and other astral phenomena. Everyone's shocked when Thor persuades her to join him for a swim, but not so shocked when she doesn't make it in past her toes.
Tony developes a new, improved, longer lasting tracking device complete with camera. So Natasha's research expands to include tracking some of the orcas in the area. Clint, of course, volunteers to help her tag the whales. She nearly scares him out of his mind when, while leaning over the side of the zodiac to tag "their" orca (the one from their first trip together), she falls overboard when another whale bumps the zodiac in curiosity. He hauls her back in and they have a frantic ride back to base while he tries to keep her from freezing to death.
Dragons and orcas totally hang out. They're both awesome, intelligent creatures and compare notes about being revered by humans.
