Position: 83° 43.2' N, 16° 08' W, , temperature - 5° C, air pressure 1023 hPa, wind 6 knots from the SE. Ice drift 0.1 knot to the W. The northwestward drift is very disappointing and the weather forecast suggests this will go on until Tuesday next week.

Position: 83° 41.6' N, 15° 48' W, temperature - 5° C, air pressure 1019 hPa, wind 12 knots from the SE. Ice drift 0.2 knot towards the NW. Checked the radiation flux instrument. Data logger voltage 12.6 volt. Checked weather station - battery is 10.3 volt.

Position: 83° 39.4' N, 15° 31' W, temperature - 9° C, pressure 1028 hPa, wind 5 knots from the SE. Overcast and low light contrast of the ice surface. The Danish Air Force 5954 Challenger coastal surveillance plane came overheat at 1545 GMT and dropped a parachute from 60 meter height. We received resupply of antifreeze and spares for hovercraft radiator, spare swords for the chain saw and battery for one of the laptops. A thank you note was dispatched to the Danish Arctic Command expressing our appreciation for the service rendered.

Position: 83° 39.7' N, 15° 32.5' W, temperature - 9° C, air pressure 1025 hPa, wind 6 knots from the SE. Ice drift 0.0. Checked the radiation flux instrument. Data logger had stopped and battery voltage 3.7 volt. Changed battery and restarted logger. Deployed the underwater camera into the scattering layer - first at 22 meter depth and then at 55 meter depth. Abundant activity, but no good images captured beyond what we already have.

Position: 83° 39.7' N, 15° 32' W, temperature - 7° C, 1030 hPa, wind 4 knots from the SE. Ice drift 0.1 knot to the SE. Made a CTD cast down to 1000 meter. Returned to the thermistor site. Got the thermistor positioned vertically in the access hole so we could use the hovercraft winch to pull the Kevlar up and the mooring wire out of the ice. Everything came out with no damage. Drove back to camp. Had a shower in the sauna. The generator had to run all day to get enough water from melting snow.

Position: 83° 41.1' N, 15° 38' W, temperature - 10° C, 1025 hPa, wind 5 knot knots from the E. Ice drift 0.1 knot towards the SE. Went back towards the mooring site, but the hovercraft got stuck on an ice ridge underway. Had to jack the craft up to remove the ice ridge. Came loose, but got stuck two more times in ice rubble and had to use the winch to get out. . Drove back to camp in the evening
