Today we recovered mainly massive pillow basalts, with only thin pillow breccia intervals between them. Drilling is proceeding slowly but surely, most of the runs are between seven and the full ten feet in length. Aloha and mahalo to the University of Hawaii at Hilo Geology Field Methods class that visited the site today, we are always happy to see students interested in learning about the HSDP! At the time of this report, we are currently at a depth of 10,490'
