On April 16, the STF «Atlantida» crossed the equator and crossed from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere.
The weather is very hot: the water and air warm up in separate days up to 30 degrees and above. As the ship approached the zero parallel and after it rained several times.
The crew on board the vessel are engaged in preventive repairs, painting and other work. The Scientific Group prepare a voyage report. Exploratory work and accompanying observations of seabirds and mammals are continuing. Members of the fauna rarely appear in sight - only on a few days the ship was accompanied by gannet (Sula) and phaethons.
As of April 19, along with the search works, the ship has passed 1378 nautical miles.
