Comments

A very pleasant steam from Mawson to Davis in near perfect conditions.
An occasional patch of fog provided suitable ambiance as we sailed down the edge of iceberg D-28. D-28, which is about 50km by 20km in size, recently broke off from the Amery Ice Shelf.

We are currently sitting at anchor at Davis and will have a simple day of station visits for people with short jobs to do at Davis.
