18/4-15

Position: 85° 20.9' N, 33° 35' W, temperature - 20° C, ir pressure 995 hPa, wind 22 knots from the NW. Ice drift 0.4 knot towards E. The low pressure has arrived and we have a
snow storm - winds were gusting to 35-40 knots during the day. Cleared the work space for snow and tried to get seismic shooting going. The room was soon covered with a layer of snow inside and in the end we gave up to continue the work until the wind is down. Heating inside the hovercraft cabin suddenly stopped and the temperature inside went below + 10° C. Supply from the day tank must be clogged. Rigged a 20 liter diesel container inside until the weather is improved for outside work on the day tank.
