Comments
Another day waiting in the fast ice for conditions to improve. Made more frustrating by a mild day at the ship. We even had clear skies overnight and a stunning Aurora Australis blazing across the sky. Unfortunately the winds are stronger at Mawson and the surface and horizon definition across the fast ice to the ship are too poor to consider flying.
Cheers
Andy, Margaret and Kate.
