Ross Island Days
Late last night we turned north, leaving McMurdo Sound behind us. We have experienced three amazing days on and around Ross Island with landings at Cape Royds and Cape Evans, a cruise along the Ross Ice Shelf, a landing at Cape Bird and then yesterday a visit to McMurdo Base and Scott Base plus an opportunity to climb Observation Hill and visit Capt Scotts Discovery Hut.
Today people are sleeping/reading or attending a series of lectures. The weather will dictate whether we are able to make any further landings before we start the run to Campbell Island.
