Apologies for the lack of Afar updates. After the first hole was a bust a second and third attempt at Osi Isi has come to an end due to a series of equipment complications including a melted/fused bit at the top of the second basalt in the third hole. But not to worry!, they have moved to an alternate location about 13km away where preparations were already under way so hopefully only 1-2 days down time.
