Jan Mayen – Work in progress

After 5 days on the sailboat, we safely arrived at Jan Mayen – Many thanks to Ragnar and Rune! We got a warm welcome at the station, and are very grateful for all the help.

We have already collected the first samples on top of Beerenberg, and the vicinity of the station. From today, the filter sampler is running and we are very happy with the progress.
