<br />The FRAM drifting ice station was established in March 1979 in the Eurasian basin at 84°24'N, 06°00'W. The program was staged out of Station Nord, on the northeast corner of Greenland, and included US, Danish, Norwegian, and Canadian participation. Nearly two months of data were collected as the ice station drifted southward, before ice cracking and ridging forced the station to be abandoned in May.
