A beautiful day with no winds and sunshine in the evening
Camp enjoying the evening meal outdoors in sunshine and no wind.
The camp is preparing to be expanded from 16 to 32 people. We expect to move the intermediate kitchen to the main dome on Wednesday. So the dome is being sealed to be weatherproof. The outer walls towards the area for toilets, showers and washes have been made and preparations are made to close the cupola. The pass way between the science and drill trench is finished. The reaming with the first reamer is finished. There is 3 m of fine chips in the bottom of the hole that were attempted to be moved with a shorter reamer and with the shallow drill with no success. Preparations where made to change to the second reamer.
Reaming diameter: 135mm
Reaming depth: 103 m
