Här kommer mitt sista resebrev från SWERUS-C3. Allt praktiskt forskningsarbete är avslutat och vi har endast resan över en liten bit av Karahavet och Barents hav kvar. Senast på lördag skall vi vara i Tromsö! ...

Nu färdas vi mot civilisationen. Det är ett litet samhälle, nästan som en liten by, som har färdats genom den Arktiska oceanen. 70 människor har ...

... today. Instead: another baking hot summer’s day in Christchurch. Our shuttle to the US Antarctic Program base out at the airport was due to pick us up at 6.15 this morning… then it was 8.15… 11… “I’m sorry, you won’t be ...

... Boomerang bags were not needed, though it was apparently a close call. We landed on McMurdo Ice Shelf (a tongue of floating ice, a couple of hundred metres’ thick over nearly a kilometre of water to the ocean floor) in snowfall and ...

We’ve been at sea for two days now. At sea and at science: we turned the multibeam on as soon as we had got through the sea ice around ...

... not part of our science. Though perhaps no one’s told it so – it seems to want to creep up on us from any direction, at any moment. Sea ice has been a tale of our first couple of days’ science, chasing us out of open water embayments and ...

... Ross Sea, one of the westernmost parts of the World: we just crossed the 180 longitude line, and therefore the International Date Line. The ship’s operating on New Zealand time, and the geophysical equipment is operating on GMT. I’m working ...

Den 30 oktober 2014 skadades ca hälften av antennerna i atmosfärradarn MARA under en storm med vindbyar på upp till 47 m/s. Dipolantennen av aluminiumrör, det övre röret på ...

Travelled a little too far it would seem: back to an internet-less World. We’ve entered the absolute epicentre of a satellite no-coverage zone, stuck between the Americas and Asia-Pacific, and we’re set to be here for some time. ...

BBQ lunch, and an afternoon gathering up on the Bridge while we get play commentary over the phone. The internet’s down, you know…

After the first week or so, when objectives, locations, methods deployed, not to mention sleep patterns, were in a state of constant change, we’ve now settled into a phase ...

... though, between routine and monotony. It’s true: every day is essentially a copy of the previous. I come on shift at midnight. Take a look at where we are, what we’ve covered in the hours I’ve been asleep. Though it’s only ocean and more ...

Just as there’s a whole new way of life on this boat, there’s a whole new language. Acronyms just start rolling off the tongue. We’re wrapping up the huge area of multibeam ...

Gruppfoto efter att flaggan hissats. Foto: Lars-Göran Vanhainen Den 26 januari är Republikens dag. Då firas antagandet av Indiens ...

We’re back in the west (or east, depending on which way you look at things). The 2nd leg of my part of the cruise has begun. The internet has returned. The Sun’s made an appearance for the ...

... Frozen(ish). In the last six weeks (yes, six weeks today!) we’ve seen a whole host of many weird and wonderful forms that ice takes in and around the oceans. The giant, imposing Ross Ice Shelf, a floating body fed from the interior grounded ...

I asked for some wind, to disturb the forming sea ice and give us some open water and clean data. 40 knot winds and breaking waves was not what I had in mind. The blue and white skies and seas look ...

At 5 am on Monday, 45 days of science came to an end. We’d shifted our plans with the winds in our final survey area, and I ...

Land is in sight! The transit has been remarkably kind to us, the weather seeming to behave more or less as forecast. We’ve ducked and weaved and zigzagged our way between the pressure ...

Today Sunday 26 July, Swedish Icebreaker Oden steamed into the fjord where Thule Air Base is located on northwestern Greenland. This completes an 18 days long journey from southwestern Sweden to Thule. We have designed ...
