Comments

Diverted to western end of the Amery Ice Shelf yesterday afternoon following new sat pic and advice from Glaciolgy section. Fast ice prevented access to CTD's 24, 23 but one as near as possible completed (350m) and currently on #22 (1150m). Conditions appear favourable for several more CTD's to our east; mooring AIS 6 looks likely. After that, uncertain.
