Oden anchors to the ice

Arctic Ocean, 10 August (N88 ° 01, E29 ° 17)
Tuesday morning and Oden is anchoring to the ice during her journey to the North Pole. The ice is getting stronger and stronger. Today the sun shines together with fog and varying clouds. The temperature is around zero, but it gets colder out on the ice. Three different research teams will go out on the ice today to collect ice cores, water and snow. Onboard Oden, there will be activities on deck all day with CTD profiles and net sampling. We aim to reach the North Pole on Saturday, but it depends on the ice situation and weather.
