Comments
We made progress through the heavy ice yesterday afternoon and last night, and have better weather conditions today. We are currently at Ice Station 13 with all parties deployed on the ice. Heli ops are underway, although cloud is not permitting long flights away from the ship. We completed an overpass of buoy array 2 this morning. Last night's Aurora masquerade party was well attended with some wonderfully innovative costumes! Regards, Tony, Dave and Petra.
