Comments
Yesterday we began the transit to the acoustic whale mooring that we hope to retrieve. We are currently negotiating heavy pack ice, a mix of new ice and floes many metres thick. Fortunately there are some leads in between.
We hope to arrive at the mooring site later today so that we can attempt a retrieval tomorrow morning before heading to Davis station.
Cheers,
Andy and Simon
