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.

Fresh water from [...] satellite remote sensing and regional airborne sea ice thickness measurements. Oceanographic moorings in Fram Strait provide estimates of liquid fresh water transport.
