New sea ice in Newcombe Bay

 We woke last week to find an amazing sight. Sea ice had started developing in the form of grease ice literally overnight. Once it was there, it was there to stay, and it wasn't until the recent blizz came that it was stuck. We are hoping that the ice doesn't form properly in the next week, so that the ship is able to come right into Casey Harbour which will prevent a helicopter transfer from station to ship, and be overall a lot easier!
