The first meters

Drilling continues with an average progress of app. 20m/day. Though some drilling bits had to be changed on the way today we advanced to a depth of 54 meters. The cores are pictured, described and packed into thermoboxes. They will be finally send back by a charterflight to St.Petersburg and continue their transport to Potsdam via an established connection by a cold-truck.. Meantime the weather turned into a mess again, welcoming us with strong icy winds at a temperature of -25°C on the transition. But in the rig the heat is on!
