Comments

Abundant enthusiasm from our first-timers on board as we pass through zones of sea ice and past the occasional 'berg. Still awe inspiring for the old timers too, and invigorating to feel that cold dry air on our faces again. Despite that, we still drag people inside and brief them about things, and yesterday was no exception (Resupply brief), nor today (Helicopter brief). We may have a PowerPoint-free day tomorrow though...
