| After the preliminary test have been
made, the EM-31 is moved out to the ice on the fjord next to the city
of Longyearbyen, for a functional test and a dry run before the system
is taken to the pole. The picture above was taken somewhere around
midnight. Remember, these test are being conducted at 79 degrees
north latitude which is above the Arctic Circle and at this time of year
we have already seen about ten days of the midnight sun.
In this photo, Rhett is holding the
EM-31 on it's side for making deep measurements. Everything is working
fine.
