On the night of 9 to 10 December we moved from the Northern to the Southern Hemisphere, in the winter to summer.
The equator "met" the ship mainly with cloudy weather with frequent short-term precipitation. The crew and the scientific team, as in previous weeks, continue to prepare for the forthcoming work in Antarctica. With the training of sailors-winchers performed a test immersion of the oceanological complex and plankton networks. All instruments have worked in the normal mode.
Research and related observations of marine birds and mammals continue.
As of December 15, 5,711 nautical miles have been traveled by ship time, with search work - 4,391 miles.
