Day 55 : 01 February 2011

Hello All

Yesterday afternoon we completed all the cargo backloading (6x20' Containers) that was available to be loaded shortly after T1 picked up more people from the SANAE Summer Station to bring them back onboard.

As predicted it started snowing during the afternoon and it has been snowing throughout. It was amazing how many of the SANAE personnel went straight to bed when they arrived onboard. Either the movement of the vessel is the cause or they are extremely tired from their activities at the base, which was hectic the last couple of days.

I do not envy the CAT train drivers out there in almost zero visibility with the new snow probably making travelling on the ice shelf very challenging...good luck to them.

Have a splendid Tuesday.
