Comments
Entered Sea ice yesterday afternoon, progress slowed overnight with increasing pack ice now 10/10 ice with occasional leads. Icebreaking our way slowly, and now 89 Nm from Casey. Weather has been overcast with snow overnight but currently showing signs of some clearance, so we may conduct an Ice Recce flight this afternoon. Hope to break out into open water near Petersen Bank later today. All well on board and enjoying having finally arrived in the ice. Regards, Don and Anthony
