About the North Pole Web Cam Images in 2007

Web Cams 1 and 2 were deployed in April as usual, but due to a technical problem, which we were unable to correct remotely, the timer was set for 14 days, so each camera transmitted only one image every two weeks.

R/V Polarstern
Most images from Web Cams #3 and #4 are from the transit on the R/V Polarstern, and not from the North Pole.

Web Cam 3 was transported northward on the R/V Polarstern as a replacement for a webcam that failed during deployment in April. Most of the photos from Web Cam 3 are from the transit on the Polarstern, and the open water you see is NOT at the North Pole. Web Cam 3 was deployed on September 13, 2007, as close as the Pole as the Polarstern could come. Only a day later, on September 14, the mount fell over, and from that time until winter freeze, the camera pointed only at the sky. New - see YouTube video Voyage to the North Pole on an Icebreaker (summer 2007)

Web Cam 4 was transported northward on the Polarstern with Web Cam 3, but never reached the North Pole and was never deployed. All images from Web Cam 4 are of the water through which the Polarstern transited.
