Comments
Today we have been cruising up and down the eastern side of the island with the weather improving as the day has gone on. No operations have commenced today, with final preparations being made in anticipation of sending expeditioners to shore tomorrow. Everyone is excited to be here, keen to get ashore to start their respective projects and enjoying the view of the Macquarie Island from the water. We have seen a variety of wild life over the past 2 days including killer whales.
