After four days of altitude adaptation in Lhasa the science team arrived at Nam Co today. Most of the team went to the camp on the northern shoreline while a few of us decided to stay at the research station on the southern shoreline to work on some barge related finishes that need to be taking care of prior to tow out. All looks good so far and we are confident to get everything up and going within the next few days. Please see the pictures of the work boat and drilling barge attached. The team has found itself. Everyone is excited to get going.
Six persons of the NamCore project meet in Potsdam to learn about data and sample management as well as mDIS. NamCore is about to start drilling in the next few months.
