Comments

Retrieved mooring AIS2; completed CTD's 3 and 2, the last being 50 metres from the front of Publications Ice Shelf, a spectacular finale to the Amery based oceanographic program. All feeling very contented and it's John Hunter's birthday. A couple of CTD's to complete in deep water for calibration purposes ex Mawson. Krill haul yielded 150 of which 125 remain alive today. Whale obs. continuing. ETA Mawson fly-off distance tomorrow morning, Sunday 24 Feb. Much less ice than expected so far.
