Comments
Departed Davis at 2025 local time yesterday. An excellent operation at Davis with people at the station, on water craft and at the ship doing a very professional job. Steady but slow progress since departure due to frequent areas of 5-8 tenths ice. ETA Mawson outer fast ice area still possible late p.m. Sunday, 23 January but could slip due ice. Arrival timing for Kista Strait is unknown at this time.
