All,
News of today (based on emails/calls with Olaf and Catalina and other information).
- At Lake E weather gratefully kept calm. Consequently, significant progress was made again with the platform set-up: two doors are done and about 3/4 of the roof. One more working day, and the platform will be widely weather-proof. The rig still needs to be put on (with the crane), and constructions inside also require some time.
- The permafrost cores that have departed Pevek yesterday in the meantime have arrived in good shape in St. Petersburg. The colleagues from AARI have organized for proper transport to a freezer. Now the paper work will start for the export of the core material.
Cheers for now
Martin
