Comments
Refuelling and cargo again today on the resupply front, while on the science front there were aerial surveys of penguins and ground-truthing of these by counts on the ground. The ecotoxicology group were setting up their aquarium, and further drilling on the fast-ice was done by the acoustics team – to name just a few of the science projects at Davis this summer. Refuelling, cargo, and water operations planned for tomorrow, along with further science projects in the Vestfold Hills.
