3/5-15

Position: 84° 42.7' N, 20° 43' W, , temperature - 13° C, air pressure 1035 hPa, wind 22 knots from the W. White-out all day, but the sun became visible at 1700 hours. Shooting seismic reflection all day. Deployed the dredge in 1400 meter water depth over the southeastern edge of the spur. When recovered six hours later, the first few hundred meters of Kevlar line near the dredge was a mess and the dredge was empty. With this our geological sampling program on FRAM- 2014/15 came to an end. Audun visited bathymetry buoy #1 about 1.7 km out. Only minor evidence of recent ice activity near the site. The airgun was leaking. It was recovered and serviced.
