FINALLY! We have landed at

after 40 days of quarantine at Gardermoen: First due to covid (first 14 days) and then stormy weather and bad flying conditions.
Let the work and science begin!
Happy birthday to the scientist Fridtjof Nansen who was born today in 1861. Nansen’s exploration of the

has been important for today's climate scientists.

👩🔬We scientists are busy with getting data.
💧On the sea ice, we took several ice core and water samples, and measured profiles of the ocean below the ice.
We have just updated our digital map services for Jan Mayen with fresh topographical data from scale ration 1: 100 000 to 1:50 000 ➡️
