Comments
Just before 1200 today, we safely reached the ice edge, marking an important milestone in our voyage. Now that we have arrived, we can begin operating and testing all the onboard systems in the cold conditions. Today's agenda includes tasks like; checking the deck steam system, which is responsible for de-icing the decks. Additionally, we will be conducting tests on the drop keel, assessing the opening and closing of side doors, and verifying the functionality of all heaters onboard.
Regards Nick and Michael
