We worked at a total of 51 stations where we took the pulse of the ocean with the CTD 96 times, drilled, dug and measured snow and ice thickness at 7 ice stations, flew more than 1200 km with the EM-bird (electro-magnetic device to measure ice thickness from the air) as part of an international campaign to calibrate the CryoSat-2 satellite, and took 108 water samples for studying phytoplankton, nutrients, and bacteria.

The ship never sleeps and work was performed around the clock – still the biologists asked for one more net sample, divers for one more dive and the ice physicists pestered the cruise leader for permission to jump over to the next ice floe.

About SEARCH Sea Ice Outlook 
Bakgrunn
The SEARCH Sea Ice Outlook is an international effort to provide a community-wide summary of the expected September arctic sea ice minimum. 
Sea Ice Outlook rapportene er en internasjonal innsats for å gi en felles oppsummering av funn og modeller for forventet havisutbredelse.
Monthly reports released throughout the summer synthesize community estimates of the current state and expected minimum of sea ice - at both a pan-arctic and regional scale. 
Månedlige rapporter utgis hele sommeren og gir dermed nyttig informasjon om gjeldende og fremtidig status for den arktiske havisen.

So, we are now underway with our second field season in the ringed seal ICE programme. 
Den andre feltsesongen av ringselprosjektet under ICE er i gang.
We will be able to explore their general activity patterns, identify foraging areas, and study their movement patterns – all in relation to sea ice availability.

Isbjørn (arkivbilde).
Thirteen people from the British Schools Exploring Society (BSES) were at the tent camp when it was attacked. 
Det var en teltleir med til sammen tretten personer fra British Schools Exploring Society (BSES) som ble angrepet.
“A single polar bear rarely harms more than one person when it attacks,” says Jon Aars, polar bear expert at the Norwegian Polar Institute. 
–Det er sjelden at en og samme isbjørn skader flere personer i et angrep, sier isbjørnforsker Jon Aars ved Norsk Polarinstitutt.
He advises everyone to take precautions when travelling in polar bear territory. 
Han råder alle til å ferdes varsomt i områder med isbjørn.
“All polar bears are potentially dangerous to humans, and it’s important to keep that in mind when you’re out in Svalbard’s natural environment,” Aars emphasises. 
–Alle isbjørner er potensielt farlige for mennesker, og det er alltid viktig å ha det i bakhodet når man oppholder seg i Svalbards natur, understreker Aars.
Lack of food is the most common reason why polar bears attack humans. 
Dårlig tilgang til mat er den vanligste årsaken for at isbjørn går til angrep på mennesker.
Polar bears depend on sea ice to hunt for food, and in the summer, long periods with unfavourable ice conditions can reduce the bears’ access to prey, mainly seals. 
Isbjørn er avhenging av sjøis for å skaffe seg mat og lange perioder på sommeren med dårlige isforhold reduserer tilgangen til mat, som stort sett er sel.
Aars emphasises that he doesn’t know anything about the ice conditions in the area where the attack took place. 
Aars understreker at han ikke kjenner til status for isforholdene i området der isbjørnangrepet fant sted.

Last year, the Norwegian Polar Institute and the Polar Research Institute of China (PRIC) signed an agreement to collaborate on polar research. 
I fjor undertegnet Norsk Polarinstitutt og the Polar Research Institute of China (PRIC) en samarbeidsavtale om polarforskning.
The Norwegian-Chinese collaboration on polar research includes cooperation to study glaciers and sea ice, and to facilitate research cruises in the Arctic. 
Det norsk-kinesiske forskningssamarbeidet om polarforskning omfatter samarbeid om blant annet forskning på breer, havis og tilrettelegging for forskningstokt i Arktis.
“We are happy to see that China is becoming increasingly involved in Arctic issues and Arctic research. 
−Vi konstaterer med glede at Kina i stadig større grad engasjerer seg i arktiske problemstillinger og forskning.
Like Norway, China has polar researchers of international status, so we are happy to see that the country is intensifying its Arctic research,” said Tora Aasland, the Norwegian Minister of Research and Higher Education, when the agreement was signed. 
I likhet med Norge har Kina polarforskere som befinner seg i det i internasjonale toppsjiktet, så vi er glade for at landet nå trapper opp sin arktiske forskning, sa Norges minister for forskning og høyere utdanning Tora Aasland ved signeringen.
The Chinese delegates who visited Ny Ålesund this summer represented the State Oceanic Administration (SOA), an agency within the Chinese Department of Land and Resources, responsible for management of sea areas, exploitation areas and marine environmental protection, ensuring national maritime rights and interests in relation to laws and regulations, and for organising and carrying out research in marine science and technology. 
Kineserne som besøkte Ny-Ålesund i sommer representerte The State Oceanic Administration (SOA ) som er et forvaltningsorgan under det kinesiske departementet for land og ressurser , PRC for tilsyn og forvaltning av havområder, bruksområder og marint miljøvern , sikring av nasjonale maritime rettigheter og interesser i henhold til lover og forskrifter, og organisering og gjennomføring av marin vitenskapelig og teknisk forskning.
“We had many positive discussions about research exchange and how we can work together to do research in Ny-Ålesund,” says Kim Holmén. 
–Vi hadde mange positive diskusjoner om hvordan vi kan utveksle forskning og forskningssamarbeidet videre i Ny-Ålesund, forteller Kim Holmén.
The cooperation agreement, which runs through 2015, obliges Norway and China to strengthen their communication about pertinent research topics and exchange information with each other. 
Gjennom samarbeidsavtalen, som gjelder frem til 2015, forplikter Norge og Kina seg til å styrke kommunikasjonen om de aktuelle forskningstemaene og til å utveksle informasjon med hverandre.
Among other things, the institutes will work together on comparative studies. 
Instituttene skal blant annet samarbeide om komparative studier.

Research scientists Kit M. Kovacs and Christian Lydersen have spent some of their summer weeks in Svalbard, tagging ringed seals and bearded seals with satellite transmitters, as part of the ICE Ringed seals project. 
Forskerne Kit M.Kovacs og Christian Lydersen har tilbrakt sommeruker på Svalbard for å merke ringsel og storkobber i regi av ICE ringsel 2011.
We have now set our course homeward-bound, towards Longyearbyen after a very successful field trip. 
Nå har vi satt kursen hjemover mot Longyearbyen etter nok et vellykket tokt.
All of the satellite tags we had in our possession for this season are now out operating on seals; 11 on ringed seals and 5 on bearded seals. 
Alle satellittsenderne er satt ut; 11 på ringsel og 5 på storkobber.
It has been a challenge to find little open water areas to set nets without them being full of bergy bits before they have a chance to catch seals or before the next tide shift brings the floating ice back to the little opening. 
Disse breene er svært aktive og kalver kontinuerlig store menger is ut i fjorden slik at det ofte er vanskelig å finne steder hvor man kan sette garn etter sel uten at disse fylles umiddelbart med breis.

We do not use any form of anaesthetic with bearded seals to avoid any drug-related risks to them and so that they can be released quickly, fully conscious and ready to go. 
Vi bruker ikke noen form for bedøvelsesmiddel nå vi håndterer storkobbene.
