After a call over the radio from the ship hailing the station, the MPV Everest sailed around the corner and into Newcomb Bay, just out the front of Casey station. Hello, new ship!

Whilst Casey is quite fortunate receiving mail and food on flights at the beginning and end of the summer season, it’s always great to greet the ship for the full annual station resupply.

It’s a very busy resupply period this week, but we’re looking forward to opening the mailbag and tucking into some fresh fruit when we can!

With the ship due in the harbour for station resupply in two weeks, it’s time to continue preparations for its arrival. Today we continued IRB training including how to safely prepare, launch, operate, and pack-down the boats. It also meant we had an opportunity to have a look at the local operating area on the water, and check out some of the Antarctic wildlife we have down here.
