13/5-15

Position: 84° 10.8' N, 18° 07.4' W, temperature - 16° C, 1017 hPa, wind 6 knots from the E. Ice drift 0.1 knots to the NE. Poor visibility all day, but not full white-out conditions. Prepared the hovercraft for a drive by i) clearing snow and ice accumulated between the inner and outer skirt, ii) clearing the decks and iii) remove the snow from behind to form a passage for re-entering our present parking position. Checked the radiation flux instruments and data logger. Received an e-mail from the Danish group operating the new Villum Research Station at St. Nord proposing up-stream CTD casts to supplement their oceanographic work in Independence Fjord.
