Hello All
Well it is nice and sunny, but not quite the lazy Sunday we were expecting with a couple of large section braking away from the ice shelf and some almost broken away. This morning we inspected the area where some container were depoted to find that a crack was running along parallel to the ice shelf about 100m in front of the containers.
We also found that the area we were working in before has now changed completely and the flags marking the ramp area drifted out to sea. The large iceberg approaching the bay has not moved that fast and probably went aground on the shallower areas to the NE of the bay.
The first of 3 passenger flights landed on deck this morning with another 3 planned for tomorrow. We will try and get some of the containers onboard the ship while the CAT train makes its way down to Neumayer with the remainder of the cargo. Heavy snow falls are predicted from the 2nd onwards, so I think we might still be in for a couple of challenges.
Have a lazy Sunday afternoon.
