Drilling at the Kuroshiro Current site very close to our destination port of Keelung (Taiwan): first core on deck!

Nicole Januszczak, K.Y. Wei, Matt Salisbury, and Bernhard Diekmann are happy about the first core on deck and put the mud immediately to good scientific use!

Not much to do for the petrologists: Mette Kristensen and Massimo D'Antonio work on a puzzle while gray-green mud is being recovered and described.
