Comments

Several hours after despatch of yesterdays SITREP encountered large concentrations of pack ice which slowed our progress and to avoid these we changed direction. The change of course has added to our estimated travel time and we are now not expected in the Mawson area until late this evening. As a consequence we will not attempt to enter the harbour until tomorrow morning. Conducted further planning meetings with expeditioners on individual requirements and chief officer on cargo operations on arrival at Mawson. Hopeful of conducting radio schedule with station leader this afternoon to complete final arrangements for our arrival
