The damaged James Clark Ross could shortly be on her way north for repairs.

The British Antarctic Survey’s research vessel, James Clark Ross, is undergoing temporary repairs and will soon be travelling north for the more extensive repairs needed before she can carry out a hectic Antarctic programme. At the moment, it is thought the JCR will sail to Uruguay and undergo repairs to her hull on the port side and to one cabin before she can journey South to participate in this year’s Antarctic Season.

In related news, the Deputy Director of BAS, Dr. John Dudney, who has been in the Islands, departed on Saturday.
