note. This is now the fourth day of the cruise. In the previous 3 days we
have done 3 helicopter flights and 3 ice stations. Now we are somewhat on
standby. Can still do helicopter flights but the priority is the
oceanographers CTD measurements/mooring redeployment.
Yesterday we had a long flight over the fast ice near Greenland. The fast
ice is ice that is frozen to the coast, and here it extends for many
kilometers. Howevever, the fast ice does break up every now and again and
this year is one of those years. It was interesting to fly over as there
were several ice types and lots of big tabular ice bergs.
Well I should go, might be flying again in a few minutes
Cheers
Justin
