27/3-15

Position: 85° 23.7' N, 37° 24' W, temperature - 31° C, air pressure 1015 hPa, wind 5 knots from the N. Ice drift 0.1 knot towards S. Worked all day clearing equipment and food away from the pressure ridge. The fuel was the first thing to be pumped over to an empty bladder 50 meter away. The radiation flux instrument and the weather station was dismantled at 2000 hours and carried over the pressure ridge to our floe. Intermittent ice ridging had by now consumed the site where the hovercraft had been parked for the last three months. The pressure ridge was 2 meter high and 10 meter wide. We have up until now not lost any food or equipment.
