ITP17 was deployed on a 1.7 m thick icefloe on 15 September 2007 at 86° 2.0 N, 105° 6.9 W in the Transpolar Drift from the Russian icebreaker "Akademik Federov" in collaboration with the European Union DAMOCLES Program. The ITP is operating on a rapid sampling schedule of 3 one-way profiles between 7 and 760 m depth each day.
