Day 37 : 14 January 2011

Hello All

We are back in the 60's with icebergs in abundance. Even some penguins pop their heads up from the water to see what we are up to when on station for our CTD casts. The days are getting longer again with us only experiencing night time condition between midnight and 3 in the morning.

The weather is good, for now and our CTD casts are going as planned every 20 miles to a depth of 500 meters. We continue with underway sampling using UCTD, Iron Fish and ship intakes with the scientist really working 24/7 at this stage and even struggling to get through their samples in the steaming time between the stations.

Yesterday marked the halfway mark of this voyage...downhill from now on, we hope.
