First samples!

We left port in Ponta Delgada last night and reached our first station just south of the Azores at around 2 am this morning. After a detailed site survey, we retrieved a 6 meter long marine sediment core, consisting mostly of carbonates. The first sediments are now on board for sampling and description and our scientific cruise is already a success!
