The lead behind the hovercraft opened to 25 meter and the old refrozed and later pressured lead 35 meter in front of the hovercraft opened 1-2 meter. Had the generator running from lunch time on to make hot water for a shower in the evening. We are starting to see the contours of melt ponds on the snow covered ice surface.
