The OBS crews have been working hard. We’ve dropped off ~1/3 of our 91 total OBSs and are currently in the caldera dropping off even more! The weather has been great to this point and everything seems to now be going well. The caldera was AWESOME! Everyone was on deck taking pictures. But there is no time to stop, we have more seismometers to deploy!

A brave “GoPro” camera was attached to one of the seismometers. It will make the journey to the seafloor. The “GoPro” will remain on the seafloor throughout the duration of the experiment and be picked up at the end when we grab the OBSs.

Another “GoPro” has been documenting most ship events including divers fixing the boat, seismometer deployments as well as documenting the voyage in the caldera.
