Drill Site, Surtsey Volcano (Magnus Tumi Gudmundsson)

The SE-03 hole has now reached a length of nearly 145 m. The photo shows the orientation of the S6W azimuth of the inclined hole and the tilted mast of the drill rig. The coring uses untreated seawater and attapulgite mud on an as needed basis. Elevated temperatures have not been detected, but there is ca. 10 m section of porous, basalt intrusions at 65-75 m.
