Aug 08, 2000 Bering Strait
We passed through the Bering Strait about 6 hours ago. Our next landmark will be Point Hope.
The combination of following winds, seas, and currents made for smooth passage. As we head into the Chukchi Sea, I review the oceanographic conditions we're likely to encounter. I want to know where the strong currents and large tides are. Those factors could impact operations in terms of ice drift and safe havens.
