What a day to finish up! We didn't get too many nice days during this trip but our final morning was a delight as the snow showers cleared and the sun came out for us to transfer the last passengers from station to the ship and get the three LARCs back on board. In the background as we sailed off was the beautiful sight of Macquarie Island covered in snow as we leave the team there to ride out the rest of the season. Thanks to everyone at Macquarie Island for having us and all the best for the winter ahead! We'll see you back in Hobart early next week.

Dave, Sam and everyone on RSV Nuyina.
