Comments
Those who gathered on the bridge last night after dinner enjoyed a spectacular Southern Ocean sunset, which for now, still occur at a somewhat reasonable hour.
By the time we arrive at Davis the sun will be setting at midnight, with under three hours until it rises again. By the end of November, the sun will set for the last time, leaving those disembarking the AIVIQ to enjoy the midnight sun of an Antarctic summer.
We continue towards Davis, slow and steady into the wind, each day slightly colder, yet slightly longer than the previous.
