Surtsey: A new water system is being built on the peninsula in order to provide a stable supply of seawater drilling fluid at both high and low tide. Drillers and scientists hauled 16 heavy totes and their cages - brought by boat from Heimaey - 400 meters in heavy wind and rain across the boulder field to a site on the western shore. Here, Steve Cole and Matt Lyon carry one of the 80 kg cages. The containers will provide water for continuous drilling over the next two weeks. Heimaey: Today we started our core processing operation on Heimaey and were very excited to work on the first 105m of Hole B.
