    The strong easterlies that put the boosters on have now abated. GPS sensors detected a small counter-clockwise rotation in the western part of the Brunt Ice Shelf, indicating there was contact. A big calving can’t be far away, surely.

    must have scratched the paintwork at the very least as it went past the Brunt Ice Shelf? How did we not have a big collision?

    Our expedition videographer, Nick Verola, completed a short film on the first "Full Ascent" of Mauna Kea from its seafloor base to the summit. It's told from just my perspective but if you're interested in a unique type of quintathalon, please take a look.

    Just FYI: authors are volunteers. We do not get paid to be an author. It means taking on an enormous number of extra hours on top of our 'day jobs'. We do this because we want to give policymakers the evidence they need to take the right decisions.

    Finally, a shout-out for all those Earth observation satellites which gather the data that underpins such reports - like the EU's series (👇 Greece yesterday!). Here's hoping London and Brussels will soon sort out continued UK participation.
