Hello All
Merry Christmas to you all. Enjoy the day.
Yesterday afternoon flights were suspended for the day shortly before supper. This morning conditions were unchanged and even a bit worse with visibility moderate to poor with overcast skies and poor contrast and definition. Now at noon visibility was down to a couple of hundred meters due to fog.
We enjoyed a very nice Christmas lunch together with the catering department again going beyond call of duty. The tables were set up with crackers, nuts, sweets and even Christmas hats. I think many a full stomach will call for a little afternoon "napette" to settle things.
The scenery is quite amazing with the sea freezing around the ship with all the initial stages of sea ice freezing visible. Grease ice, Shuga and even some nilas. The water temperature is not really low enough to induce freezing but I think the wind chill over the top is assisting the process.
Have a splendid Christmas day from a completely white out Antarctica.
