US ice drift station FRAM-IV : report on the Norwegian field program
The US ice drift station FRAM-IV was deployed in the Arctic Ocean at 83° 57'N, 21 °E on 15 March 1982 a bo ut 200 n.m. north of Svalbard and manned by twenty US and three Norwegian scientists. During 57 days of operation, the camp drifted about 165 n.m. southwestwards from the Eurasian Basin on...
