A circular swerve in the ice on the Gulf of Finland with a Finland ferry.

A circular swerve in the ice in open sea with a Finland ferry. The ferry went throgh the ice at a speed of 17 knots and the circumference of the circle was two nautical miles. The circle of ice was photographed from a satellite. The ship made an extra turn out in the open sea in the Gulf of Finland at E024:57 N 60:01.

A GPS navigator which determined the position was connected to an antenna at the superstructure of the ship. The equipment received signals from 26 satellites in orbit around the Earth, updating the position every second. The display shows course, speed and position. The ship's swerve is also registered in the ferry's black box.
