As well, the Wegener Polar-5 aircraft-based research done at the same time as the Catlin survey covered far more territory and came to rather different findings. " Multiple flights northwards from various stations showed an ice thickness between 2.5 (two years old ice in the vicinity of the North Pole) and 4 metres (perennial ice in Canadian offshore regions). All in all, the ice was somewhat thicker than during the last years in the same regions"
