Houle

In 4 days, if the sky is clear, we will be able to see the sun for few minutes, in the south, at noon. It will be the end of the polar night. With light coming back, scientific experiments on sea ice and family trips with the dog sledge will be easier. A CTD and an electromagnetic icemeter arrived yesterday, these instruments were on board Tara, also for Damocles. Our first visitors, Ariane and Hugues, are on board for 12 days of filming. They can listen this morning to the loud creaking of the hull against the ice, because of the swell coming up to the boat. Already part of Inglefieldbukta's fast ice has been drifting away... We now have to wait for pack ice to re-form before venturing again.
