Position: 87° 04.0' N, 61° 33' W, temperature - 32° C, air pressure 994 hPa, wind 8 knots Ice drift 0.2 knot towards SE. Shooting seismic reflection all day. Checked the radiation flux sensors, the fan works fine. Recovered one sediment core (60 cm) in 1.260 meter water depth and made one CTD cast down to 1.100 meter depth.

Position: 87° 05.8' N, 62° 10' W, temperature below -40° C, air pressure 999 hPa, wind 6 knots. Ice drift 0.1 knots towards east. Shooting seismic reflection all day. Made a CTD cast to 1.130 meter - water depth is 1.250 meter. Adapted more lead weight to the short corer, and we moved the Kevlar drum from the cold work space into the heated tent.

Position: 87° 06.5' N, 62° 32' W, temperature below - 40° C, air pressure 1005 hPa, wind 4 knots from the N. Ice drift 0.1 knot to the SE. Shooting seismic reflection all day. Deployed the short sediment corer and recovered a 20 cm core for the Ice2Ice-project.

Position: 87° 05.6' N, 63° 23' W, temperature below - 40° C, air pressure 997 hPa, wind 17 knots from the S. Ice drift 0.2 towards ENE. Shooting seismic reflection all day. The camera sled was deployed in 1.260 m water depth. About 30 minutes of video recorded with the sled in motion and several life forms imaged which we have not seen at our earlier deployments. A CTD cast made to 1180 meter depth.

Position: 87° 03.8' N, 65° 28' W, temperature - 36° C, air pressure 990 hPa, wind 15 knots from the S. Ice drift 0.4 knot to the E. Shooting seismic reflection all day. Made a CTD cast. On the way up, the CTD remained at 600 meter depth for one hour because a hydraulic hose burst and had to be replaced. Reamed the hydro hole.

Position: 87° 04.0' N, 67° 47' W, temperature - 23° C, air pressure 981 hPa, wind 10 knot from the N. Ice drift 0.2 knots towards E. Moved seismic acquisition to back-up PC which has an identical set-up. Restarted seismic shooting at 1245 hours. Checked radiation flux instrument and cleaned sensors. Made another CTD cast down to 2.400 meter depth - water depth is 2.550 meter. Audun moved 1.000 liter diesel up to the hovercraft.

Position: 87° 05.9' N, 67° 47' W, temperature below - 40° C, air pressure 1017 hPa, wind 5 knots from the N. Ice drift 0.0 knot. PC completed 15 hour disk scan/repair cycle. Reboots in Windows as usual, but flips back to fault conditions. Checked the radiation flux instruments and cleaned sensors. Made the first CTD cast down to 2.450 meter in 2560 meter water depth

Position: 87° 06.0' N, 67° 48' W, temperature - 28° C, air pressure 1027 hPa, wind 10 knots from the N. Ice drift 0.0 knot. Seismic acquisition PC is down - we are working on the problem. Audun moved fuel towards the camp from a temporary fuel bladder location. Sent an invitation to Dr. Artur Chilingarov for a Russian polar scientist/technician to replace Audun at crew change.

Position: 87° 06.8' N, 67° 40' W, temperature -37° C, air pressure 1029 hPa, wind 10 knots from the N. Ice drift 0.1 knots towards east. Audun connected up the wind mill, but outside switch box was corroded and had to be replaced. CTD was checked and batteries changed. Replaced start batteries (2 x 110 Ahr.) and service batteries (4x 110 Ahr.) in the hovercraft. The seismic data logging PC crashed again. We are not drifting anywhere for the moment so no opportunities are lost.

Position: 87° 07.4' N, 67° 45' W, temperature - 39° C, air pressure 1029 hPa, wind 3 knots. Ice drift 0.1 knot to the east. PC for seismic data logging crashed, but came up again. Laid out 12 Volt power from the hovercraft to the radiation flux instruments to avoid maintaining batteries out in the cold.
