Moving icefields




When we follow the buoyline we meet twee big icefields, floating by rapidly. It is impossible to break through them. The ice is more than 50 cm thick. This is potentially a dangerous situation for if we get stuck in one of these icefields there is a chance we drift on the rocks surrounding us. So as quickly as possible we move backwards and wait for them to go. Buoys dissapear and reappear again under the ice. It takes about an houre.
