November 21, 2017 - Resupply

Unloading cargo from the ship onto a waiting skidder truck.

The past 7 days have been busy with resupply of Davis station. The Aurora Australis parked in the sea ice about 1.6 km from the station and a cargo transport area was established on the sea ice beside the ship. Fuel, water, cargo and expeditioners have been transferred. Tomorrow the ship heads back to Hobart, while we begin to check and organise our field equipment. Weather good and clear. Little cloud. Low winds <10kts, Min/Max -12/-4ºC.
