Comments
Yesterday afternoon as the winds died down and the sun came out we commenced discharging cargo for Mawson station. First off as always was a container loaded with mail for the outgoing wintering team to rummage through and enjoy presents and goodies from back home. This morning, we were delayed by Mawson's famous Katabatic winds but commenced cargo operations before morning tea and are making slow and steady progress in overcast and gusty Antarctic conditions, as the saying goes 'Its not always sunshine and penguins'.
