Sailing home after mission success👍 Over 2,830 nautical miles, and an eight-day journey from New Zealand later - Royal New Zealand Navy’s HMNZS Aotearoa has successfully completed its first Antarctica resupply operation and is now heading home.
A combination of fuel, equipment, supplies and buildings were transported down to McMurdo Station to support the Antarctica New Zealand scientific research programme.
“Aotearoa is an amazing ship, but it’s the people on board that make it work. It’s the people on board that got us from the tropics helping Tonga, to here in the freezing cold of Antarctica” ~ Captain Simon Griffiths, Commanding Officer HMNZS Aotearoa
Bravo Zulu to our personnel and fair winds homeward bound.
