Last day :-(

By September 17, 2024Arctic Expedition

Last day 🙁

We’re approaching Pittufik, and it’s time to wrap up this incredible expedition. The journey has been a “formidable” success, with research conducted around the clock. KTH has been instrumental in many of the key activities, including:

– Helicopter-launched XBT deployments in the inner part of Victoria Fjord
– 3D scanning of icebergs in Victoria Fjord
– Mapping of shallow waters, ice margins, and the outflow channel in Petermann
– Development and measurement using helicopter-borne depth measurements (WBAT)
– CTD sampling, sampling and sampling
– Multibeam mapping
Soon, we’ll disembark from the Oden and head home aboard a Swedish Air Force Hercules. For those who have been following my blog, I hope you’ve enjoyed the updates. Stay tuned for more adventures—my calendar is packed with exciting plans! You can follow us on LinkedIn.

I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this remarkable trip possible: Elias Strandell Erstorp, Clemens Deutsch, Martin Jakobsson, Nina Kirchner, Jakob Kuttenkeuler, Malin Mörk, Riko Noormets, Niklas Rolleberg, Aldo Terán Espinoza, Ivan Stenius and the Robotic team at RPL. A special hurray to Polar and the Oden crew, and a huge thanks to Einar Sjöbom, our skipper on Munin.
Over and out!
