Comments
Normal sailing the last 24 hours.
Aurora crossed the Antarctic Convergence zone early this morning, with air and sea temperatures steadily increasing as the day progresses.
The conditions of reduced visibility are expected to remain for at least the next two days, with expeditioners making the most of the opportunity to catch up on movies, reading and resting. A number of special presentations by various expeditioners are also being held following dinner in the evenings.
