Antarctica - Casey Station ANARE 75 Part II - Summer January 2022 and February 2022

The summer was very busy and included a 30 day re-supply which is the longest in Australian Antarctic history. Also during that period a blizzard in January produced a record strongest wind gust of 115 knots (213 kph) - this broke the previous record of 88 knots (163 kph). The Happy Dragon rode out the blizzard in Newcomb Bay and it recorded a (unofficial) wind gust of 134 knots (248 kph).
