4/7-15

Position: 82° 13.57' N, 10° 27.8' W. Temperature +2 °C, air pressure 1026 hPa, wind 1 knot from the ENE. Ice drift 0.15 knot towards the SE. Polarstern was now at 81° 36' N, 06° 36' W. The cruise had taken advantage of the ice situation and moved the grid of geological stations to the north relative to the initial plan. An e-mail from Chief Scientist R. Stein informed us that there would be another geological station farther north and the Captain and the Chief Scientist would like to visit the ice camp by helicopter tomorrow morning. Had a shower in the sauna in the evening. A polar bear visited the camp during the night, but did not do any damage.
