A busy day spent planning and writing up the Operations Plans for our impending visit to Davis and the upcoming visit to Mawson station. This included a phone hook up with the team at Davis who are preparing for our arrival; writing rosters, checking over their IRB's (inflatable rubber boats), etc.
The expeditioners and crew have all now had their clothing, packs and bags and camera cases cleaned of seeds and anything that may infect or infest pristine Antarctica. The process involved bringing all their gear to the Wet Lab and then turning pockets and bags inside out and getting the vacuum cleaner in to all the corners. Boots and tripods are also cleaned of any soil residue and dipped in a disinfectant.
Cheers
