Comments

Yesterday the ship turned yellow to white, from all the snow flakes, we were all expecting ice bergs everywhere today, but we have only spotted a few ice bergs on the horizon. The air temperature is a nice -3 c, which is very pleasant whilst enjoying a nice warm cup of coffee. We are not far now from our destination, our attention is now shifting from being movie critics, to now focusing our attention to the mission at hand. Everyone onboard is prepared and ready to make this a successful operation for the Mawson station resupply.
