Comments
Just when you think you're alone at the end of the earth, out of the blue we saw a ship on the radar amongst the icebergs and soon enough were having a chat over the radio with our fellow Antarctic travellers on the Japanese ice-breaker the Shirase. As we continue onto Mawson Station the weather looks good for our expected arrival on Monday and commencing resupply operations soon after, the only thing we haven't seen yet are penguins, they must be afraid of Happy Dragons.
