SKA 6 - a somewhat blurred shot of SKA 6 in rough weather - (Photography by Karsten Petersen)
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 - (Photography by Karsten Petersen)
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 - - -
