Quotes:
Javier Sanso "Visibility down here is only about one or two miles maximum; there is always a rainy mist which makes it quite a lot more difficult to detect Icebergs."
Veolia "We are having a bit of a hard time with the times and food. We don’t have a wrist watch and so just using our instinct for when to eat. Night falls about 17 UTC and day break is about 22h30 UTC and it is not easy to know when to have something to eat, when to have breakfast for example?!?"
