Transect one successfully completed in early hours of this morning in spectacular setting: ice shelf, bergs and sunset. Currently heading for the base of Transect 2 somewhere on 35S,exact location will depend on ice conditions. Making good progress through loose pack in good visibility. All aboard taking advantage of the scenery and the break from CTDs. REGARDS Steve and Ruth
