*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 !*
