Comments

We continue the transit from the Totten to the Mertz region. The sea remains calm and our progress has been excellent. This morning we trawled for Krill and obtained approximately 5,000 specimens for the Krill laboratory at Kingston.

We look forward to reaching the Mertz glacier region this afternoon and we are planned to commence mooring retrieval activities upon arrival



Cheers

Tony & Lloyd
