*NEWS UPDATE @ 21:20Z *- Nigel Jolly, Braveheart owner, *declared an 
emergency* and ordered the VP8STI team to cease all operations and 
return to the ship. A large ice flow that had broken away due to last 
night’s storm starts to block the entrance to the Bay where they were 
camped. There was strong potential for the ice flow to prevent 
Braveheart reaching them.

The Team is *now safely aboard the Braveheart* and they are moving away 
from Southern Thule Is. All equipment and personal gear is still on the 
island. They hope to return to camp site during next good weather 
window. Once they retrieve their equipment they will make a 
determination as to whether they can proceed to South Georgia to do 
VP8SGI as planned – *VP8STI QRT !*
