Back @ N9

After four good days of ice breaking, the vessel is back alongside at N9 (low shelf near Halley base). The ice conditions on the passage back were better than on the passage there but it still proved difficult.

We will be here until Wednesday, doing cargo and pax transfers before saying our final goodbyes to the winterers at Halley and heading back to base at Stanley. The weather has been favourable although there has been patches of fog and it is certainly getting darker at night so it is time to go!
Current weather -13°C F5.

I hope you are enjoying the blog/pictures. If there are any questions you would like answering or specific pictures of things then feel free to comment/ask
