Comments

A detailed assessment of the ice leading in to PolarB, and that around her was carried out this morning. We now have all 4 helicopters working the transfer from PolarB to Aurora. Pax transfer almost complete with only 6 pax to go. All personal bags transferred. 20 drums of oil sent to PolarB yesterday. Cargo transfer via sling loads continuing. I anticipate the transfer operation to be completed late today or early tomorrow. Two passengers backloaded from Aurora to PolarB (Doctor and CCTO). Two RTA pax ex Davis now onboard. Our intentions are to proceed to Mawson as soon as the last cargo is slung over to Aurora.
