ICDP Executive Secretary Uli Harms and Head of Logging Team Jochem Kueck share a happy moment in Wadi Mishmar during a sand storm

The storm continues. High winds caused a big dust storm while we were out on a geological excursion, giving our logging team the real desert experience. Nicolas to us to the section on land that is comparable to the 450 m we are drilling in the lake. It will be interesting to compare the two sections in the end. The drillers are anxious to get back to work. We are a little worried about salt buildup on the drill string seeing as it is sitting there without being turned and hope that the pipes will not stick and come up easily.
