Comments
Another quiet day. Just passed a huge berg (also known as a "big kahuna berger": 11 km x 5 km) visible on our satellite radar images. According to this satellite data, our easy run is over, and the ship is about to earn its money as an icebreaker. We're expecting to encounter much heavier ice as we head west and south in the next couple of days. REGARDS Doug and Nicki
