Comments

Spirits remain high despite the difficulties we are encountering finding suitable ice for a station...

Three possible locations were spotted by Robbie and Klaus from a helicopter recce early this morning. We have just broken the first whilst trying to moor the ship and are now heading to the second choice.

fortunately the sun is shining...

Cheers

Andy, Brett
