Comments

Three aircraft used to deploy party to remeasure Ice Station 4, and to recover the meteorological buoy, "Snow White". Now heading NW to more open ice enroute to Casey. Lead systems have opened considerably since yesterday. Plan to occupy final pack ice station late this afternoon or overnight, depending on ice conditions
