The ice is closing outside Cape Arktichensky. Now there is a super thin ice and relative mild temperatures in the area. But the ice has to be thicker for us to be able to walk on it.
We have purchased two inflatable boats, se we’re optimistic about being able to leave at 10.00 tomorrow morning – and finally flying onward to Sredny. It’s a four-hour flight by helicopter. There we’ll get updated information on ice conditions and our prospects, and decide whether or not to start the expedition proper on Tuesday.
