Comments

Marine science is still being undertaken in transit, with daily samples from the ship's Oceanographic Lab. These routine samples include seawater filtering for phytoplankton pigments, other micro organisms which provide information about ocean acidification, and whole water samples. Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) will be also tested for upon our return.

Voyage Management and expeditioners are busy preparing for our return; packing, meetings and briefings and performance reviews all underway.

We are currently scheduled to berth alongside Macquarie No. 4 Wharf, Hobart at 0700 on Thursday 7 January, with passengers disembarking approximately one hour later.

Cheers,

Andy, Vic and Eloise
