We finished our scientific program in the western Fram-Strait at the East-Greenland slope and went back to our main research area of the long-term observatory

During the sixth week of expedition PS101 we are making our way home through the ice. A FRAM “superbuoy” station needs to be rescued before we leave the ice.
