Jean-Claude Gascard, coordinator of Damocles, Hugues and Stephen, cameramen, and France and Léonie left Vagabond on Wednesday night. Scientific season is finishing progressively, melting has started, but we will have to wait until July to be free from pack ice, and to get back to open sea. Until then, some weather soundings will complete data from the permanent automatic station set up near the cabin. I'm now doing the last oceanographic measurements, from a very wet pack ice.
