Unfortunately, we were put on a weather hold until further notice as high winds and large waves prevented us from initiating our work. The storm remained for the majority of the day, allowing for some dramatic pictures to be taken from the observation deck as the waves crashed against the bow (front section of the ship) and reached the helideck on deck 6! The weather hold lasted for the majority of the day and for many, even the most able seaman on-board, this was a difficult time to be on a ship as they try to get used to the motion of the ship during the storm.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1200px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-3815-1\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/cage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191021_103757.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/cage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191021_103757.mp4\">https:\/\/site.uit.no\/cage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191021_103757.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>Thankfully, the RV Kronprins Haakon is very stable even when passing rough seas, making it very comfortable for those on-board carrying out their day-to-day activities. Which on this day included the final preparations of the equipment, laboratories and procedures that we would undertaken once the cores arrived on deck. In addition to this, we were able to enjoy the facilities on-board the RV Kronprins Haakon, such as the observation deck, gym, library, ping-pong table, and day room. The discovery of the ping-pong table was a particular highlight for some during the transit period!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3818\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3818\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3818 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/cage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/pingpong_mariana-eseves-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/cage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/492\/2019\/10\/pingpong_mariana-eseves-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/site.uit.no\/cage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/492\/2019\/10\/pingpong_mariana-eseves-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.uit.no\/cage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/492\/2019\/10\/pingpong_mariana-eseves-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/site.uit.no\/cage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/492\/2019\/10\/pingpong_mariana-eseves-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/site.uit.no\/cage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/492\/2019\/10\/pingpong_mariana-eseves.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3818\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Testing the ping-pong table during the transit to the first station.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Later this evening, the weather cleared up enough for us to begin our work (and get an amazing view of Svalbard).
