Comments
Arrived at the fast ice edge polynya 25 nautical miles from Mawson at 0100 local this morning local after a very good run yesterday. Despite using two engines little progress has been made towards the station as the ice is proving to be very tough indeed. Very high winds are forecast for Mawson for 48 hours starting this evening local time. Currently assessing the overall situation and options available. Regards: Martin & Steve.
