The daily ice report

The conditions in the Ross Sea are pretty good at the moment - dead calm but overcast and very cold. Our position didn't change majorly in the last 24 hours - just six miles to the north east, but Tweety was sent up again to check the ice. Right now, the ice is 10 miles to the east, with a thick edge, open behind, and then after 15 miles it starts getting heavy again. According to Zeger, the water is starting to freeze, and there's some fresh, small bits of ice in the water.
There wasn't much news from the Nisshin Maru today, despite what the ICR's Glenn Inwood would have you believe. They are still preparing the ship's accomodation, and still hope to leave using the ship's own engines.
More as we have it...
