Description: It was hard to get the camera to focus properly, but if you look hard enough, I think you can see some of the plankton, especially near the upper right edge of the container

Description: Members of the mapping crew from the University of Hawaii, who have also been analyzing the seismic data to help choose good coring locations, discuss the best location for the next coring site with Captain Oliver (facing away from the camera). Facing the camera are Paul Johnson (left), Steven Tottori (middle), and Margo Edwards (right).

Description: Since so much research is based on analyzing the multi-cores, Glenn Berger (left) and Guillaume’s (right) job of extruding the core samples has become invaluable. Considering this is the 3rd multi-core, with at least 6 tubes on each multi-core, Glenn and Guillaume have had lots of practice too!

Description: A steady “rain” of water, mud, and pipe shavings falls on Stefanie Brachfeld and myself as Dennis Darby (not pictured, but above us) cuts the top of the gravity core (the core that triggers the release of the large weight that drives the piston core into the seafloor). This was more fun than humans should be allowed to have (photo by Glenn Berger)
