August 15th Research and celebration in the fjord

We woke up at the head of a small fjord, filled with blue icebergs and long glaciers winding down the mountains into the sea. We started the day deploying CTDs, and the ECRs reached a big milestone – deploying the CTD solo!

The crew gifted us a six pack of fizzy drinks to celebrate. We also launched a new remote-operated vehicle, and cast out nets to study the zooplankton. Our Friday night ended with a great dinner - chef treated us to venison and roast potatoes. We will miss this lovely fjord!
