On Surtsey, the inclined hole, SE-03 has progressed today to below 65 m, corresponding to a vertical depth of 53 m. Scanning in the Heimaey Lab of the two cores recovered from the two vertical holes, SE-02A and SE-02B, is nearing completion. Meanwhile a puffin captures a mouthful of fish on Heimaey’s southern peninsula. Children on Heimaey have been rescuing dozens of pufflings in town this week, carrying them in cardboard boxes to the aquarium, and releasing them on the shoreline to fly on their own.
