Well that's a headline! Who do you have to write so much, it's not the easiest to write. What was I not restore all things out for great stories. Iceland for three weeks with all the trimmings! There is one email I received during an exciting bus ride to my phone if I join the ANT-XXVI / 2.
Thanks to modern technology Iceland so it was possible that I got in the middle of the remoteness of the Icelandic highlands of this mail. Iceland provided a Handyabdeckeung, even in places where you need it or not very much either. The Icelandic highlands is legendary. Stories of outlaws who were exiled there mixed with stories of tragedies and modern control. Iceland is practically the only offshore. In Germany, is nothing, garnix. What if I did not answer it can?
Then someone else would be traveling in the course of the ANT-XXVI / 2 of Polarstern expedition from Punta Arenas in Chile to Wellington in New Zealand. Endurance and annoying to pay off, according to cancel dozens I received a confirmation. One is enough, yes. It is not easy to get to the North Star. Many want to, but even though the Ship over 110 meters long drive only about 45 people with the AWI, the rest is part of the crew. Of the 45, some of Hawaii, Korea, Chile, New Zealand and elsewhere. So there are few places for PhD students or graduates that are sought after by its very nature. So I was lucky enough that someone can not ride because of the great thorough German bureaucracy. My job will be so with the equipment, the sediment cores from the seabed drag on deck to work.
Wolfram Distance: approx 8000nm
Weather
Harsh weather conditions are expected. Sea-ice may be present in the Ross Sea. Please be prepared against sea thickness. ha! Looking forward. Hopefully I can take the waves again as then before the Hakon Mosby Spitsbergen.
PS: The little problems are not solved! But tomorrow could be an important day ...
Photos of Iceland will soon be there.
