We’re now closer to the North Pole than we are to any land. It’s expected that we’ll be at the pole sometime at the end of next week. Currently we’re steaming to our first super-station, which is when we take high resolution vertical profiles to better understand the chemistry at those locations. After our super-station, our next stop is the North Pole!
I don’t have too many updates, so I’m going to send you over to Bill Schmoker’s PolarTREC blog, where he recently featured Team Mercury. He spent the day with Katlin and me in the van, learning about mercury and taking some good action shots. So check it out here:
