Comments
Last night we found thick pack (greater than 9/10 pack, 1.5 to 2m thick with significant soft snow on top, and very few patches of open water)on the Tressler Bank, of the NW corner of the Shackleton Ice Shelf. Back tracked to the east early this morning, before heading north, with a view to getting back into open water on the northern edge of the pack.
