Objective(s): The main objective of the mission is to retrieve a mooring located at Station z1 in Kugmallit Bay before the landfast ice begins to shift. In addition, water and ice properties will be measured and samples taken as there is considerable interest in the Mackenzie Plume and very little known about the concentration and nature of sedimentation under the ice.
