Photographs from a helicopter returning to the FRAM I station north of Fram Strait in
March, 1979, after a radio communication informed us of a crack appearing in camp. Although
a close call, no major equipment was lost. The lead continued to widen until it was about 1 km
across, and the camp survived, with beachfront property for a time, and a thriving suburb to the
south. The lead eventually froze hard enough to serve as the camp runway.
