@Flashback @k_sheep - could you check please whether Albatros will supply parkas and rent us boots on board? I intend to leave my Ponant Parka behind as it’s very bulky and I don’t need a great red beacon in Tas but will keep it if we have to bring our own parkers to Greenland.

Not looking good:

"Please note that expedition parkas are no longer being included on Ocean Albatros’ Arctic voyages from 2025 onwards."

Malachite - copper carbonate. Cornwall of course was well known for its copper mines. Many of the early South Australian copper mines ( eg Burra) were worked by people from Cornwall.
