Comments

Another aurora was spotted last night. This one was red and green and from all accounts quite spectacular.

The seas have been kinder to us over the last day or so. The ship movement has now become a gentle roll which has been making it much easier to sleep.

Preparations for our arrival at Mawson are continuing.

Cheers
Leanne, Simon and Amy
