Position: 88° 22.3' N, 85° 11' W, temperature - 34° C, air pressure 1027 hPa, wind 4 knots from N. Ice drift 0.5 knots towards west. We worked on building new work space; putting on the roof and building enclosing lee walls of snow blocks. The sauna is housed in an annex. The 24-hour full moon makes a very special out- door working environment.

Position: 88° 24.6' N, 84° 14' W, temperature - 30° C, air pressure 1013 hPa, wind 9 knots from the NE. Ice drift 0.1 knot towards the south. Work on the work space and hydro hole continued. Moved a fuel bladder from the old camp area to the new.

Position: 88° 27.3' N, 84° 17' W, temperature - 23° C, air pressure 1014 hPa, wind 15 knots from the E. Ice drift 0.2 knots towards SSE. Work on the new work space and hydro hole continued. Found the compressor compartment totally packed with windblown snow. Cleared out the snow and put heat on.

Position: 88° 31.5' N, 84° 09' W, temperature - 22° C, air pressure 1025 hPa, wind 8 knots from NE. Ice drift 0.2 knots towards south. Repair work on the portable diesel pump. Mounting new hydrophone for the seismic measurements - we have lost two hydrophones to the ice, but still have two spares. Audun started to build new work space for the seismic and geological work, and work on making a new hydro hole was initiated. Ice thickness is 1.5 meter. The half- way crack widened another 0.5 meter.

Position: 88° 34.7' N, 85° 58' W, temperature - 24° C, air pressure 1043 hPa, wind 8 knots from the E. Ice drift 0.1 knots toward south. Moved two large wooden boxes and six Zarges boxes of food to the new camp area and moved five fuel bladders across the recent crack at our temporary storage area. The weather station was now 15 meter from a pressure ridge and was rigged down and moved to the new camp area.

Position: 88° 36.6' N, 84° 08' W, temperature - 23° C, air pressure 1038 hPa, wind 28 knots from ESE. Ice drift 0.3 knots towards west. A new crack has opened 0.5 meter half- way between the new and old camp area. The thermistor string is now 7 meters from the major zone of ice ridging and we mounted an attempt to get it out. Drilled a hole next to the frozen in upper chain and was able to hook on to it and recover the 300 meter string safely. Lost the weight at the end because of a corroded shackle. Will await instruction on how to download the data before redeployment.

Position: 88° 08.38' N, 78° 37' W, temperature - 11° C, air pressure 1028 hPa, wind 37 knots from SE. Ice drift 0.6 knots towards west. Stayed inside most of the day, but picked up radiation flux instruments and battery box and stored at new camp site. Minor ice ridging in old camp area.

Position: 88° 33.9' N, 73° 32' W, temperature - 4° C, air pressure 1012 hPa, wind 30 knots from SE. Ice drift 0.5 knots towards west. No outside work today.
