Comments
We now know a lot more than we did about Phytoplankton, following Harriet Paterson's talk yesterday. Last night the southern sky treated us to a magnificent display of Auroras - or at least those who weren't asleep by 9pm! VL and DVL were seen retrieving and redeploying the CPR at 04:00 this morning. Planning meetings for our arrival at Casey continue. As we approach 60 degrees south we are on the lookout for King Neptune. Cheers from Nicki, Rob and Peter.
