Comments

Resupply continued today but cargo operations were affected due to chunks of sea ice limiting the access of the barge to the wharf area. Passengers were transferred ashore to continue with their projects. One project “Population status of Southern Giant Petrels at Frazier Islands” was completed today. We were very fortunate to have suitable weather conditions two days in a row to make this possible. Will see what tomorrow brings, weather forecast is for a few light snowfalls developing early afternoon and an increase in the winds. REGARDS: Sharon, Fred and Jill
