Position: 87° 47.3' N, 69° 16' W, temperature - 34° C, air pressure 1026 hPa, wind 7 knots from the south. Ice drift 0.3 knots towards the east. Shooting seismic reflection all day. Unpacked some of the received cargo. The multi-fuel oven had the top deformed, but seems repairable. Keeping the hydro hole from freezing is a problem as venting of the air gun creates a turnover every few minutes and introduce new cold water. A 2 kW heat stick in the water or a fan heater on top makes no visible impact. The ice chisel is the only way out.
