A hard day’s work

Day 17: 7 July 2020

We spend this day a little further north-east on the continental shelf sampling for all we are worth! In total, we have 20 stations (deployment of four CTDs, four box corers, four multi-corers, four epi-benthos sledges, and multibeam in between!) to be finished today before tonight’s transit back to the panoramic view on Iceland – a tough schedule but the weather is unbelievably nice, with sun shining and a dead calm sea! The day started again with another (or the same?) big school of pilot whales hanging around and watching us – life could be worse! Enjoy the photo show!

Torsten Lux (Geology student, HiWi at Geomar) and Marco Bruhn (technical assistant at Senckenberg) get stuck in too
Retrieval of the MUC
Getting the slick out of the box! Mmmmh…apparently tasting it helps identifying if it’s organic or volcanic!
Getting the box corer into the water!
Ursula, the EBS witch gets busy!
These fellows are also hunting the plankton!
