Today we continued to make excellent progress collecting seismic data filling in another 3.1 km of seismic line ONH-1. We started at km 13 on the line and worked our way up to km 16 before we had to stop early. This leaves only 18 holes left on seismic line one to complete. The day was picture perfect once again, with little to no wind and temperatures in the teens by mid afternoon. Being this far east on line one, we were able to gaze up on most of the Royal Society Range, with Mt Lister standing out as the tallest, towering over 13,000 feet.

We had to quit by 1:30 as we had a helo arriving to pick up our current drill rig and swap it out with the one that they were bringing out. The geophones actually picked up the approaching sounds of the helicopter as it approached, which resulted in a quick evacuation of the seismic sled to watch its approach as well as aid in helping.
