NOVEMBER 13: ANOTHER GREAT DAY IN THE FIELD

Today, we had another great day in the field. The weather has been delightful, with clear blue skies, little or no wind and relatively warm temperatures (low teens F). The seismic team set another record, collecting 3.2 km of seismic data over six meter plus sea ice today. Kudos go out to the drillers and their trusty assistant (Howie), Stian, who has fixed everything that has been thrown at him as well as the rest of the team, a team that always is working flat out to make things happen.
