Comments

Completed first long sea ice ecology station. Recovered instrumentation from floe. Weather deteriorated yesterday afternoon. Now backing and ramming through heavy ice, towards second long sea ice ecology station and Casey fly position off this morning. Helicopter flight to sample additional floe this morning. Hot mediterranean night a huge success. Regards Vicky and Karin (Barbara's at Law Dome)
