Team members, support people, sponsors, and interested persons — We have official confirmation from the vessel for the dates of the expedition:

Nov. 10 – Dec. 22, 2015

These dates mean depart/return Fremantle, Australia. The visit to Kerguelen is not yet confirmed–the skipper is working on that, so we’ll update you when we have news.

Thanks to Rodney Russ for arranging with the Shokalskiy for extra time in Fremantle in order to accommodate this need. Some team members would have been unable to participate had we not been able to return before Christmas. This is a nice present, and ensures that the expedition can make (and keep) the plans.
