Last night we packed down the Christmas tree and prepared for setting out this morning. We were rolling at 8am and made good progress without any kind of surprises, driving 86 km. Also, we passed a milestone when we crossed the 80 degrees south mark this afternoon at 3pm. We will stop for tonight and head out tomorrow morning for our next science stop which we probably reach in the afternoon.
