About this app:

The Antarctic Voyages iOS app lets you view up-to-date information about the current (or most recent) Antarctic voyage as conducted by the Australian Antarctic Division with Australia's Antarctic research vessel, the RV Aurora Australis.

View screenshots and Download Antarctic Voyages from the iTunes Store.

With the Antarctic Voyages app you can:

• view the latest webcam images
• view the ship track on an interactive map
• view the latest readings from the on-board, scientific sensors
• view situation reports from the voyage leaders

This app is a great way too see what it's like pushing through the ice at the lower latitudes, and also an excellent way to stay close to loved ones that may be on-board!

Works with iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.

All data is from the current voyage. If there is no current voyage then webcam images, maps and data are from the most recent voyage. The Australian Antarctic shipping schedule can be found at http://www.antarctica.gov.au/living-and-working/travel-and-logistics/shipping-and-air-schedules.

Upcoming improvements:

• A better map. The current map sometimes goes blank when crossing the dateline.
• Improved local map tile caching
• Add the voyage schedule to the app
• Push notifications when a new voyage is about to begin
• Customisable push notifications when a voyage reaches a certain location
• Display of waypoints and events
