Ice front

78°50'43.25"N - 2°50'42.74"E


We are surrounded by ice and looking for a big slab to put us down with the crane. It is beautiful sunny day and quiet, the ice breaks all waves. No seasickness today.

There is a large Spanish delegation of CSIC on board: scientist, journalists, writers and filmmakers, a very interesting group. Every day, we get lectures by the participants, about their work in relation to climate change.

"Then there you lie like the one warm spark in the heart of an arctic crystal" from Moby Dick, chapter xi

Hugs, Margie.
