Comments
Completed Ice Station 6 and a successful full day of flying yesterday by 1830. Took advantage of divergent pack in the north to head towards the south east part of the experimental area. Stopped as ice started to get tighter, and now working on Ice Station 7 in deteriorating weather. Expect limited visibility and closing leads to slow our return northward. REGARDS Ian and Vicky
