Position: 87° 33.9' N, 64° 34' W, temperature - 28° C, air pressure 1030 hPa, wind 7 knots from the NNE. Ice drift 0.1 knots towards the east. Resumed seismic shooting after midnight. Audun moved more fuel to the camp. Our inventory is about 7.000 liter left. Have finally thawed out my personal clothes after they got submerged by overwater on the ice when the ice hangar had to be abandoned in the beginning of October

Position: 87° 33.9' N, 64° 47' W, temperature - 35° C, air pressure 1023 hPa, wind3 knots from the NW. Ice drift 0.0 knots. Continued repair of the used generator and found the brushes worn. Replaced with brushes from the other newly broken one and we have power back again. Started heating the compressor again. Periods of intense pressure ridging sounds like standing next to a large water fall.

Position: 87° 34.2' N, 65° 05' W, temperature - 27° C, air pressure 1020 hPa, wind 10 knots from ENE. Ice drift 0.1 southeast. Shooting seismic reflection all day. Noticed strong jerks repeatedly over several hours. The reason was active pressure ridging about 250 meter to the north of us. The area seems otherwise intact. At 1400 hours the generator suddenly lost AC-power output. Hauled out the new spare generator and started. It run for about 2 hours and suddenly stopped. The cause is no compression as one valve lifting rod is unseated. This is not repairable here.

Position: 87° 36.8' N, 65° 04' W, temperature - 28° C, air pressure 1020 hPa, wind 21 knots from ENE. Ice drift 0.2 knots towards southwest. Shooting seismic reflection all day. Problems with hydrophone noise in the early morning - recovered the hydrophone and put it out again.

Position: 87° 40.7' N, 64° 47' W, temperature - 38° C, air pressure 1028 hPa, wind 12 knots from the ENE. Ice drift 0.2 knots towards the SSW. Acquiring seismic reflection data all day. Rigged up the electric oven in the new tent and called home for instructions on how to prepare a pork roast. Had a successful meal of pork roast, red cabbage and cloud berries for dessert.

Position: 87° 44.4' N, 63° 42' W, temperature - 43° C, air pressure 1026 hPa, wind 2 knots from the NNW. Ice drift 0.1 knots due south. Acquiring seismic reflection data all day. Too cold to do work outside.

Position: 87° 45.3' N, 63° 34' W, temperature - 35° C, air pressure 1026 hPa, wind 4 knots from NW. Ice drift 0.1 knots towards SSW. Shooting seismic reflection all day. Put up the inner tent and fired up the multi-fuel stove. Improved the heat box for the hydraulic oil reservoir and put in a fan heater

Position: 87° 46.4' N, 63° 58' W, temperature below - 40° C, air pressure 1024 hPa, wind 3 knots from the NNW. Ice drift 0.1 knots towards the south. Disassembled the air gun, but our inventory of firing seals are exhausted so the O-ring was flipped over and re-used. Back in the water, the gun was still leaking air, but giving good data and shooting continued. Audun replaced the battery for the data logger of the radiation flux measurements, and also the broken wind cross of the weather station.

Position: 87° 47.4' N, 64° 42' W, temperature - 36° C, air pressure 1023 hPa, wind10 knots from the southeast. Ice drift 0.1 due east. Shooting seismic reflection all day. Cleared a place for the tent which for now will be an addition to our present work space. This was a cold day and we had to take the tent floor inside the cabin to heat it before it was laid out. The tent was difficult to unpack, but doable. We connected to our air supply and the air filled support arches inflated nicely, but the structure folded after a few minutes from loss of air pressure.
