A couple of hours later I saw our first ice since leaving Barrow. This was at about 69d 30m North and 99d West and exactly where yesterday’s ice charts said we might see a little ice. The pictures are with a telephoto lens; they were several hundred yards away as were the 4 other pieces we saw today. Since then we have moved East away from the ice and all is clear, which is a relief as we go into night.
