21/6-15

Position: 82° 35.8' N, 12° 19.8' W, temperature 0 °C, air pressure 1018 hPa, wind 4 knots from the SE. Ice drift 0.15 knot to the SE. A beautiful day with no clouds. The lead behind the hovercraft skirt widened to over 200 meter during the night. Made a CTD cast to 1000 meter depth. We are at the very edge of the floe and will be in danger if the ice comes together and ice pressure occurs. Started pulling down the tent and the work space and loaded onto the hovercraft. We moved the hovercraft30 meter away from the edge. Audun redetermined the hovercraft azimuth to 255 degrees - a change from 260 degrees measured 10 June.
