Pancake ice is forming in the open water off the bow cimg0590_640 Breaking ice cimg0591_640 Breaking ice. I think the ship created the lead, but it might be following one opportunistically cimg0599_640 Our first bear. Several more to follow! cimg0602_640 Ice station cimg0603_640 Ice station cimg0604_640 cimg0634_640 The large chunk of ice is drifting at a different rate than the little bits and a clear zone appears. Why? cimg0645_640 Preparing a mooring. The 700 kg concrete anchor is in the foreground. The yellow gear are pairs of acoustic releases. cimg0646_640 Testing the acoustic releases. The black and silver object with a cable running off of it is the transponder that will ping to talk to the release cimg0647_640 After the transponder beeps a few times, the release opens. Upon recovery, this will cause the mooring to drop its anchor and float to the surface cimg0672_640 The silver tube is a SBE37 microcat temperature, conductivity and pressure instrument that will be bolted to the mooring line. The black donut is a bumper for the moored profiler. cimg0693_640 As the mooring is lowered into the water, the ship is oriented so that the mooring drifts away from the boat. While this prevents chafing of the line and possible entanglement with the propellers, it is hard work to keep the line accessible in order to attach instruments. Igor (foreground) is cold and wet. cimg0819_640 cimg0820_640 cimg0829_640 We supected that mooring M1C surfaced beneath this old pressure ridge. cimg0830_640 Ice conditions immediately after the release of mooring M1C cimg0848_640 cimg0856_640 cimg0908_640 cimg0931_640 cimg0968_640 cimg0969_640 cimg1001_640 cimg1007_640 Life boats on the Kapitan Dranitsyn
