28/12-14

Position: 87° 46.4' N, 63° 58' W, temperature below - 40° C, air pressure 1024 hPa, wind 3 knots from the NNW. Ice drift 0.1 knots towards the south. Disassembled the air gun, but our inventory of firing seals are exhausted so the O-ring was flipped over and re-used. Back in the water, the gun was still leaking air, but giving good data and shooting continued. Audun replaced the battery for the data logger of the radiation flux measurements, and also the broken wind cross of the weather station. We constructed an inside support frame out of 2"x2" and 2"x4" lumber for the tent and now it stood up nicely. The multi-fuel oven was put in and fired up for a test. The result was good and the next task is to connect the tent to the existing work space with the hydro hole. When that is accomplished, we should be in business.
