6/9-14

Position: 87 26.6' N, 155 50' E, temperature - 7 C, air pressure 1007 hPa, wind 19 knots from NNE. Ice drift 0.3 knots towards WNW. At lunch time all of a sudden the sky cleared and we saw the mighty sun from an almost clear sky. This was time for action; all five autonomous echo sounder buoys were deployed within a 6 km radius from the camp on behalf of Blodgett-Hall Polar Presence, the owner of the hovercraft. They will ping every six hours until the end of the FRAM-2014/15 and report the received bottom echo via Iridium to WHOI.
