I think the kelp does most of it's growing in the summer. The ice is only around from February to mid- April.
Thanks for the comments - actually you should see the 200 cone-jelly shots I didn't post
In the end, the only way to do it was to get Mark to shine my HID from under the jelly. This took quite a bit of practice as we were tied together by 3 metres of rope. We increased the rope length between us to 5 m and this helped a lot. It does reduce safety, but a compromise was good enough to allow me a bit more freedom with the camera.
