Position: 87 29.5' N, 175 23' W, temperature - 10 C, air pressure 1023 hPa, wind 10 knots from NNE. Ice drift 0.1 knots towards NNE. Started preparation for moving the hovercraft to a new location. Had to use survival suits because of the water level in the ice/snow building. Backed the hovercraft out from the ice hangar
and parked about 50 meter away on pallets. Noticed sudden loss of lift and established that the lift fan belt was broken. We are now exposed to the wind chill during all work outside the cabin.
