Comments

The Nuyina continues its southward journey, fast approaching the 60th latitude. This morning we encountered our first iceberg, indicating our proximity to the icy Antarctic region. The air temperature continues to decrease as we head south. Tomorrow evening, we anticipate reaching the ice edge, and if conditions permit, we'll start some of our key cold weather tests on Saturday.

Regards

Nick and Michael
