I need to take another short break from the diary, as the next journal entry was not for another two or three days. So we will leave Aurora bashing and grinding at the ice as she continues her attack on the thick snow covered ice in Prydz Bay on her way to Polar Bird. If you have not read any of the story so far, this will give you an opportunity to catch up from Day 1 by starting HERE.
Otherwise you may find this little five minute film, Cleaning up Antarctica - Wilkes provides more detail of our cleanup mission. It's dated of course, the sound is a bit scratchy and is not as well mixed as we would have liked, but I think it provides a picture of the challenges that are being faced in the cleanup process.
I have a couple more films which I'll try to post here a little later, just as soon as I work out how to transfer them from a twenty year old DVD disc to a notebook PC that doesn't have a DVD slot.
Meanwhile I hope you'll enjoy this...
