16/4-15

Position: 85° 20.1' N, 37° 13' W, temperature - 12° C, air pressure 988 hPa, wind 5 knots from the NW.White-out all day. Ice drift 0.5 knot towards NW. We have moved 6.5 nautical miles to the NW during the night. Checked the radiation flux instruments and removed snow from the IR (up) sensor. A warm spell is here and we worked all day removing c. 2 cm thick layer of ice from the outer walls of the flotation tanks inside the cabin. Refilled some antifreeze and the radiator leak seem to be contained. We are running the Honda generator during the day and the main engine during the night for charging batteries.
