Many made a beeline for the post office where Post Mistress Camilla “stamped until I dropped”. About 20 Davis folks also got a trip out to the Xue Long and a tour and meal (the ship is a younger sister ship to the Vasiliy Golovnin).

, quote = At the time of the incident, the Golovnin was under way back to South Africa after a three-month charter to deliver cargo and fuel to the Indian Antarctic research stations Bharati and Maitri. She departed Cape Town with 1,000 tons of cargo and a new delegation of Indian scientists on January 26; TASS reported that the resupply mission was challenging, with poor weather and ice conditions, and Golovnin had difficulty getting free of the ice pack on her return voyage.
