TWO Polar bears and a magical scenery


I am still processing what we have experienced yesterday evening (Monday 2/8): We went into the ice - covered magically by the mist and low clouds, the sun scattering through the clouds, being reflected from the melt ponds in the ice, big ice blocks (2-3m thick) being carved from the ice while Oden is braking its way through the ice towards the North Pole. AND we saw TWO curious polar bears that evening! I am still not sure if this is reality or if I am just dreaming. Today is day 10 on Oden, second day in the Arctic, and we have already experienced and seen soo much: whales, Svalbard, launching weather balloons, two polar bears, seals, ICE, magical sceneries, dancing on the Helipad, being inside a helicopter, living on ODEN - an icebreaker…. And yet we have 49 days to go! Incredible!

Cancelled Helicopter flight for Friday 6/8 BUT 36h Ice Station Saturday - Sunday

Image
Friday started as usual - getting up at 5 to launch the morning weather balloon. I was disappointed by the weather conditions I was facing that morning - fog! Not only did the fog prevent us from the helicopter flight, but also the fact that we were a bit behind our schedule and had to reach our first ice station at 86 N by Saturday. Therefore, unfortunately our planned helicopter flight was cancelled and we were mostly steaming the whole day. For many of us, as all CTDs were cancelled too, it ment a more relaxed day: playing cards, doings sports, resting, watch movies, sleeping... For others, it ment intensive planning and preparation for the first ice station. In our project work, we were doing water sampling from the water 8m below the ship, measuring the CO2 concentration in the water. We aim to do several water samples per day during the expedition. It was nice to have one more relaxed day - time to breath and charge yourself - The work on a research ship can be really heavy - som...

LAST WEEK of the polar expedition - Transit from the Ice edge on Saturday the 11th to arrival in Helsingborg on Sunday 19th

Image
  We left the last ice station on Saturday evening at 8 pm and reached the ice edge around midnight between Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th. The ice got thinner and changed to the forms of pancakes, and then suddenly disappeared within some hours.  Waking up on Sunday 12th - the first day of the transit - and looking out of the window: NO ICE only open ocean!!! It was really heartbreaking to realise there would not be any ice more, and the noises form the ship while moving on open ocean is not coming from breaking ice, but from the waves. The new sea-conditions required adaptation to a lot of us - as we were not used to the wavy motions and thus some of us got really seasick during the first days of the transit over the Atlantic.  However, we were not only seeing ocean and sea spray, but also the mountains of Svalbard were visible on Sunday. Me and John decided to launch the last weather balloon once we reach Svalbard - so it was time today :/ We invited our colleagu...

Reaching the NorthPole on Sunday the 15th early morning, second helicopter flight on Thursday 12th

Image
For the last couple of foggy and cloudy days, we have been steaming northwards during the nights and staying stationary during the day - with both ice stations and helicopter stations. Right now we are steaming over the night, currently at 89.2 degrees N to reach our last stop before our second big 24-h stop (B) at the North Pole - planned arrival would be Sunday 15th early morning.  On the photo above you can see the whole plan of the cruise (pink dashed line) with the red dots as the 24-h stations. Three days ago we were located at the flower (green track shows our actual track) and right now we are even closer to the North Pole (second red dot).  The days have been pretty similar for the last three days: On Wednesday the 11th, despite the fog, there was a helicopter station for testing fishing longlines and the beam net was active for 16 hours, and some were out on the ice doing water sampling. Due to the beam net, there were no CTDs planned until late in the evening, meani...
