Comments

Another really productive day here at Macca despite often marginal conditions in terms of our operating parameters. The helicopters have had a great day down the island resupplying huts and establishing new radio repeaters while on station and field science and operational programs have all been active. The LARC team has had a big day with the ship's crew transporting people and cargo in and out in difficult conditions. In good Macca fashion we have had both sunshine and rain today and the green of the island looked amazing when lit by the sun.
