Comments
Mawson station is ordinarily a quite hideaway at the end of the earth, but not today! With the arrival of the icebreaking vessel Aiviq early this morning, today is going to be busy. With two ships loitering around, barges and a workboat ferrying cargo and passengers ashore and between vessels it feels like a real harbor. The excitement is clear in the voices of the ingoing Mawson team on the Aiviq as they lay their eyes on their home for the next year and the message from all of us on the Happy Dragon and at Mawson station... Welcome!
