ITP 86 Deployment

ITP 86 was a bit rushed for deployment as the ship was down to one thruster and did not want to go into heavy ice so parked south of the ice and the Maritime Helicopters were used to locate a fairly large ice floe and transport the equipment to and from the ship.  It was a beautiful sunny day on the ice with warm weather and the ITP was deployed using the ITP winch, tripod, and standard 11” augured hole.
