in the Greenland Strait and the sea ice that had been edging towards Iceland by the end of October drifted away. By the middle of the month a westerly arrived and was dominant more or less throughout the month. The sea ice edged closer to Iceland and was closest about 45n.m. west and northwest off Westfjords.The Met office observed the development on satellite images and issued 5 announcements during

Westfjords and on the 9th of December, sea ice was closest to shore, according to satellite images about 25n.m. north off Horn. Easterly winds were dominant in the Greenland Strait up until the end of the month, but from the 25th of December southerly winds were dominant. The sea ice had drifted far off shore and was miles away around the holidays, in spite of the change in wind. The Met office issued

that sparse ice was to be found within the ice-edge. The information also indicated that the ice-edge came closest to shore about 55-75 nm westnorthwest of the Westfjords. A dispatch regarding icebergs was received by the end of the month, but they were at 66°40N and 25°30W. Information regarding the ice-edge was issued four times by the Met office and the Office also received a photograph, taken from
