Australia’s icebreaker RSV Nuyina is en route to Davis research station. 🚢

Carrying 90 passengers and more than 950 tonnes of cargo, including two helicopters, food and essential equipment, the ship will help resupply the station for the year ahead.

While many aboard are returning expeditioners, for those heading south for the first time, the journey has already delivered a memorable milestone: their first glimpse of Antarctica's towering icebergs. ❄️
