How far does the Oden travel in a day?

Hi! When the Oden is traveling in a straight line, with little to no ice, she can travel 250 nautical miles ( a little more than a land based mile) in 24 hours, with a speed of 10 knots. However, most days we stop to do science, or slow down due to ice breaking, so we do not travel 250 miles each day!
