Comments

Another day of navigating through heavy ice and open leads. Now in open water heading to a fly off position 51 nm east of Mawson. Hoping to start helicopter operation after lunch. Cleaning of clothing and equipment in accordance with environmental quarantine obligations complete (conducted prior to all disembarkations). All pre-disembarkation training and briefings complete.
