Position: 89° 04.2' N, 56° 37' W, temperature - 25° C, air pressure 1017 hPa, wind 12 knots from NE. Ice drift 0.3 knots towards south. The ice activity was very high all day. The lead between the radiation flux instruments and the hovercraft turned into a major shear zone which built piles of ice rubble several meters high. Cracks developed as splays from this shear motion and fragmented a major part of the camp area including where most of the fuel was located. The highest priority became moving the fuel bladders in relay by pumping into empty bladders sitting in still unbroken ice. By early Thursday morning, seven full bladders had been moved. Two were spotted in a pressure ridge and the last two were missing.
