The deployment for ITP 83 was conducted from the Russian ice camp Barneo after attempts to fly the systems further upstream were cancelled due to weather concerns.

As the Barneo camp continued into the summer, the site was revisited on July 3, 2015, and the ITP buoy was found tilting in an ice pond. (Photo by Sergey Pisarev)
