A breathtaking, calm morning, the water dark, thick and syrupy with grease ice and the air quiet and still with fat snowflakes falling vertically. Icebergs glide by attended by snow petrels. The scene observed in respectful silence. We are making easy travel through more open pack ice and are only left in want of a little sunshine, which since lunch time has been trying desperately hard to break through the clouds. We continue out transit westward, in search of the "right" type of ice for our trials. Not too thick, not too thin, not too lumpy and not too hard to get to. The ice hunt continues.
