Comments
We had to push north last night to avoid some heavy ice, but overall have made reasonable progress. The day has been overcast with poor visibility much of the day. We have seen a few icebergs, but without any sunshine they just appear out of the gloom and retreat again. We continue to have a slow email connection to and from the ship, so there is some delay with communications at the moment, but otherwise everyone onboard are well. We are preparing for our arrival at the Davis fly-off location, which 9weather and ice permitting) should be on Wednesday.
