Here we are, alone, France and me, since yesterday morning, until April 17th. The seismic network left the icepack without any other misadventure, and according to Jean-Philippe, the icepack is well deforming, she is cracking, she is resounding, she gave a nice set of data, some seismic signals unexpected, and this is thrilling. Strong wind, low temperature (35 knots and -28°C, which is -64°C with the chilling factor!), no trip out today, unless to feed the dogs and make them run a little bit. Peaceful life on board, being warm inside, with a great view on the storm. Tonight, the sun will not go below 6° under the horizon, which is the definition of twilight; no more northern lights, no more moon shines...
