Comments
Smooth sailing in krill-free waters. Inspected ice edge yesterday evening (2137) and found it at 67 03S, 62 54E which is exactly where Terrascan said. Pack appeared loose and could see large leads to the west. Information passed on to Polar Bird and Mawson. Scenery and weather almost compensates for lack of krill! Regards, Steve and Ruth
