Comments
It was not possible or practical to continue attempts to 'icebreak' into Mawson yesterday. The ship departed the fast ice edge at 1530 local for the Cape Darnley region (ETA there is 1400 local time today). Will proceed from Cape Darnley as decided following a review by Kingston of Mawson resupply options. All are well.
