Comments

Had a great day on our sea ice floe yesterday, and finished up just as it began to break into much smaller pieces. Perfect timing! Bios very happy with their results. Decided to take advantage of the promised good weather and headed for our B9B fly-off position last night, arriving early this morning. Have completed one flight to the berg, but it was covered in local fog at the planned AWS site. The glacio group headed to the south and took a PICO core, and are about to head out again to have another try. Conditions look good for tomorrow too. REGARDS Dug
