Comments
Today we successfully moved 43 expeditioners and the biosecurity dog (Nui) to Macquarie Island by helicopter. We also sent ashore expeditioner personal bags and cargo that was wanted on the voyage. The sun came out today for a while, king penguins have been swimming around the ship and various seabirds such as the light mantle sooty albatrosses and giant petrels have been flying by.
