What the track shows

Followed for 6 months, from August 1995 to January 1996, across 42 recorded positions.

It ranged between 57°N and 69°N, never leaving the northern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from -5°C to 8°C.

It averaged 30.9 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 1,156 km from its first, so the track we have is a one-way journey rather than a closed loop.
