The new team arrived Friday, March 25th: 6 people including Franck Delbart from IPEV (French Polar Institute), and Simen, their guide, in charge of polar bear watch and snowmobiles. Before them, we had unexpected visitors for the first time, probably because of the very nice weather and the Easter holidays! First Kjell Tore, from the Norwegian Polar Institute, and his girlfriend, then a journalist from Svalbard Posten. Already the first day, the network was set up on the ice pack, 6 km away from Vagabond, on about 6 weeks old sea ice, where was the large polynia last January. Also the icepack is moving a lot in this area, and this is what the ice experts and geophysicists are interested in. They are finishing today to set up the 27 seismometers and the 7 GPS stations (also many cables and batteries) to study the sea ice deformation. During 5 or 6 days, the sensors will record every little movements of the sea ice over a one square kilometre surface, in order to better constrain sea ice modelling, as well as the role of sea ice on the global climate. Let's hope that the icepack will resist to the bad weather coming, and will not take away all this expensive equipment, unless a polar bear too curious would come first...
