NOVEMBER 3RD: FINALLY THE SEISMIC DATA IS BEING COLLECTED!!!

SEISMIC COLLECTION HAS BEGUN!

After many challenging episodes of showstopping equipment failures we have begun to collect the seismic data. The ONH team once again worked flat out and came up with creative solutions as well as seized opportunities to make tings happen so in the end all of the many trying setbacks were overcome and now we are moving well along the line. Even during the times when we could not collect the seismics, team members flagged the first line using a transit, resulting in precise and accurate locations for the seismic team to locate the places for the holes.

This photo shows Howie drilling a hole a flag for the line, while the Challenger pulls the seismic sled and the Pisten Bully pulls the drilling sled in the distance. Also, in the background are two skidoos following the seismic team. They are all heading out to the end of the line to start collecting the data.
