Over the last few days, significant progress has been made in obtaining seismic data. The price though has been high as we have had a number of equipment failures that Stian and others have been able to fix, often by working long hours into the late evening. But after all said and done, we were able to do at least 20 holes per day drilling through six meters plus of sea ice.

It the weather holds out and the equipment can perform okay, we can be done in two weeks. We are all hopeful that we can finish the second seismic line.
