 The expedition would like to visit the Law Base Refugee on Larsemann Hill, its position being 69 deg. 23 min. South, 76 deg. 23 min. East. The actual position of the ship is 68 deg. 30 min. South, 75 deg. 30 min. East.

Let's start working to find a safe way for the ship to pass through, or around, the ice.
