Comments

Completing the last few transects of krill survey and will then begin the long trek to the Kerguelen Plateau this afternoon. Successful retrieval of sediment trap and deployment of camera system yesterday as well as several CTDs and net hauls. This is the genuine sitrep 441 - the numbering system got a bit confused recently, apologies! Regards, Steve and Ruth
