Comments

Awoke to zero visibility, blowing snow and far more wind than expected.
Another day of "hurry up and wait". If conditions do not become flyable by late afternoon we'll pull out of the ice into the polynya and catch some krill, thus saving a few hours work on our return to Australia.

Cheers

Andy, Margaret and Kate.
