Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oceanographic Observations: Kennedy Channel, Kane Basin, Smith Sound and Baffin Bay; Summer 1963 At the conclusion of the Labrador Sea section ofi' Cape Farewell Greenland, Evergreen, under the command Of cdr C. S. Changaris, uscg, set course for Thule, Greenland, arriving on 25 July. After a 2-day layover in Thule during which time plans were made for the forthcoming survey, sup plies were taken aboard and the three additional civilian scientists sponsored by onr boarded, Evergreen left for Smith Sound to moor three toroidal buoys with Richardson current meters, anemometers, and radio beacons. The moorings were accomplished on 28 July between Cape Hath erton, Greenland, and Cape Herschel, Ellesmere Island. Because the ice island blocking Kennedy Channel had shifted and broken loose between 24 July and 26 July and was drifting south in three pieces, it was decided to conduct the section across Kane Basin from Cape Louis Napoleon, Ellesmere Island, to Cape Russell, Greenland first, in the event that the polar pack ice moved rapidly south. The section across Kane Basin was begun on 28 July with station 8750 and was completed on 29 July. Evergreen then proceeded to the lower part of Kennedy Channel and took five oceanographic stations south of the descending pack ice in a line from Cape Madison, Greenland, to Collinson, Ellesmere Island. All were accomplished on 29 July. Evergreen then proceeded in a southwest erly direction taking an oceanographic station in the deepest part of the Kane Basin Channel Off Cape Frazer, Ellesmere Island, and two stations between the Kane Basin section and Smith Sound section, also in the deepest part Of the channel ar rived at Cape Hatherton on 30 July. The same day a section consisting of six oceanographic sta tions was occupied across Smith Sound on a line parallel to the three oceanographic moorings.
