VP8    - The final couple of days on Thule Island were quite an  ordeal  for

         and a large ice floe that threatened to block the entrance  to  the
         bay where the team was located and caused  VP8STI  to  go  abruptly
         QRT in the UTC evening of 25 January. Eventually the team was  able
         to  retrieve  all  the  equipment,  and  on  27  January  the   R/V
