The NABOS deployment (O-Buoy 9) will take place on the Russian research icebreaker Akademik Fyodorov for a 34 day cruise departing from and returning to Kirkenes Norway. O-Buoy 10 will be deployed, once again, from the Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker Louis S. St-Laurent on a 32 day cruise in the Beaufort Sea.
