Tangaroa on route to the Ross Sea moorings

Tangaroa left 8th January for the Ross Sea. They are heading first to Cape Adare to recover the Ross Sea Outflow moorings and put in a new array. Sarah Searson and Olivia Price are on board getting the mooring gear ready. The ship is south of 60S and they have sighted the first iceberg. Ice conditions look good for the approach to Cape Adare and they should reach the moorings sites in a few days. We'll be very excited to hear the news!
