Well. Whales yesterday and the first siting of icebergs today. I am being spoilt. At about 10am i sited my first iceberg in the distance and also the tip of the Antarctic peninsular. Funny enough that was white as well.
Everybody's mood on the JCR seems to be lifted now as we get closer and closer to Rothera. As the JCR is a science ship and the British Antarctic Survey's flagship we are doing lots of science work on the way down to Rothera which put us slightly behind schedule.
The weather deteriorated as the day went on and as i look out of the window as i type it is now snowing.
