During rough weather it was
of course not possible to do surveys, but it it was not too much, we could
sail to the next survey area for stand-by. Otherwise we would just drop
the anchor in a sheltered place, - and wait - - - -
SKA 5 twisting and turning
through an ice field, - another SKA boat is seen in the horizon -

Also in ice it was impossible
to do surveys of the obviously reason, that you cannot follow straight,
pre planned lanes, when those lanes are obstructed by ice - - -
So,- again we had to find a
sheltered cove and wait, - wait, - wait - - -

View to to opposite side

dead silent -

the mountain tops.
