Position: 87 27.7' N, 152 56.6' E, temperature - 10 C, air pressure 999 hPa, wind 15 knots from W, light snow, water depth 3.800 meter. Our prospective area for geological sampling is to the north and since we are now drifting south, priority is given to work on the ice hangar, particularly the section associated with the work area for sediment coring.
