Comments
We've accomplished so much for a Monday, here at ice station 8, particularly in light of the average ice thickness of 6 metres! Lots of science is being done, a 2.5 hour RAPPL's (Radar, Aerial Photography, Pyrometer, Laser Scanner) flight and ice reconnaissance complete, and a buoy deployment 20nm west of here underway.
Cheers
Andy, Brett
