Comment:
The Netherlands expedition intended to establish a station at Port Dikson, at the mouth of the Ienissei (Yenisey) river, but their ship was beset in heavy sea ice in the Kara Sea. The Varna, along with the Danish vessel Dijmphna, drifted with the ice for the entire IPY year. A station was built on the sea ice in October, near the two trapped ships. The Varna was crushed and finally sank on July 24, 1883.
