Our First Sampling Station

Today, January 7 at 22:32 UTC we reached our first station. This is the first of many stations lined up to be occupied and sampled thoroughly by the PRISM group. So far we have been gathering along- track data and and doing some occasional tows for chlorophyll, plankton, etc.  The next station (Station #2) will be within the sea-ice and the final and third one, before we set off close to the Ross Ice Shelf, will be onshore of the sea-ice.
