Comments
Holding near the ice edge in around 110 East. The third option proved to be a no go yesterday afternoon, poor visibility again hamping route choices. The decision was therefore taken to wait for a good satpix of the current ice distribution in the region. Weather outlook is for low cloud and poor visibility in the outer pack ice area until at least Tuesday so it may take a while to obtain a suitable image. All is well and somewhat appropriately last night's movie was 'The Day After Tomorrow' which was good for a laugh!
