Comments
We are moving smoothly through refrozen leads, in places up to half a
kilometre wide. It is a brief reprieve from the dense, snow covered pack
we have been in for the last month. There are more heavy sections to
come however but we are making progress, west and north.
We are packing away as much of the equipment as possible before we reach
the MIZ (marginal Ice Zone) and ocean swell.
Cheers
Andy, Brett
