After two weeks of waiting in the ice, we can only watch as the M/V American Tern passes us by and goes ahead of us to McMurdo Station. The Tern got stuck three times in her attempt to reach the station. We ended up waiting another week while the ice breaker attempted to make the ice channel wider. The only good that came of the Tern passing us and going in before us was that they resupplied the base so there was a fresh supply of beer waiting for us.
