Comments
The water temperature rose by more than 2 degrees in the last 2 hours suggesting that we have just crossed the Antarctic convergence. We also just completed crossing the Kerguelen Plateau for the final time on this voyage and are now back in deep water.
We continue to make excellent progress. The weather is sunny, the sea is flat which may seem hard to believe in the Southern Ocean.
