Comments

We are now free of the pack and in open water, heading to a point where we can pass though the ice into the Dalton Polynya.

We have been in fog all day, limiting visibility at times to less than a mile.

Earlier this morning the RMT or Rectangular Midwater Trawl was used to catch more live krill.

Cheers

Andy and Mike
