Position: 87 57.5' N, 175 57' E, temperature - 8 C, air pressure 997 hPa, wind 32 knots from E. Ice drift 0.8 knots towards NNE. Water depth is 3998 meter. Stopped shooting the air gun as the released air did not hit the hole in the ice, but deflected and accumulated somewhere else under the ice. Water level in the hangar has risen 10 cm since yesterday. Have to use the survival suits to be able to move around. Worked to free frozen-in parts of the hovercraft skirt now under water.
