30/6-15

Position: 82° 25.00' N, 10° 54.3' W, temperature 0 °C, air pressure 1014 hPa, wind 10 knots from the SSW. Ice drift 0.2 knot towards E. Sun shine until the afternoon and overcast in the evening. A polar bear visited the camp. The bear appeared timid and kept at a distance. The animal was mostly interested in fish we had to dispose of. Responded to the e-mail from AWI-logistics that we did not anticipate their assistance would be needed considering the separation between the ship and the ice camp. The earlier alternative to use the sealer HAVSEL out of Longyearbyen in mid-August was reaffirmed with the owner.
