Hand drawn course into Freshwater Bay.  There are no electronic charts for this area and the soundings on the paper charts are “not considered reliable”.  The ship is equipped with a forward scanning sonar that covers the front 180 degrees.

Our progress over the past several days.  We are now heading West and back into the ice.  We are looking for flows for spotting wild life and also hope to make a landing on the ice.
