harmony on a floating ice flake? -

Here is a good shot of the danger
of navigating in waters not yet surveyed. The SKA boat to the right in
the picture go full astern, which is indicated by the dark exhaust cloud
around the boat. The engine is really working hard!
It is trying to avoid collision
with the submerged rock to the left in the picture. See the white foam
where a wave is breaking over the rock.
The other SKA boat in the background
steers away from the danger area - - -
SKA 3 , - full speed
