Comments
We are making our way slowly northward through very heavily deformed ice. A helicopter flight this morning showed narrow leads running NE from our location, with improved ice conditions about 10 miles to our north. There have been no science activities outside today, but everyone is catching up on lab work. An emergency muster drill and fire rescue exercise, were held this morning. Regards, Tony, Dave and Petra.
