Comments
Things have settled down this morning with noticeably less ship movement and we certainly seem to have successfully found the gap between weather systems. There is something big and swirly off to our south-west but we are leaving it in our wake as we are given a helping hand by some westerly winds.
If you thought that exploring previously unknown parts of the Antarctic last week was exciting, we're here to testify that, in this final week, we are reaching an administrative crescendo down here with feverish report writing going on in all corners of the ship.
