The SCALE winter 2022 (SCALE-WIN22) cruise was the final component of the SCALE programme (2019-2022), which was run in the framework of the South African National Antarctic Program (SANAP). The SA Agulhas II departed and returned to the Port of Cape Town on 11th – 31st July 2022, following the Good Hope monitoring line.
