We left Longyearbyen on Monday 22 June from Troms\u00f8, happy that the cruise was back on. It was initially canceled, like many, due to Covid19. We were excited to retrieve our lander and see what amazing data it had collected from the past year.\u00a0 The lander was deployed in July 2019 and was supposed to continuously record and monitor methane release in the area. After about 30 minutes, we managed to persuade the lander to rise up from the seafloor and resurface. It was time to come home.<\/p>\n

All types of lifeforms had made the DPU their home, and everything within was eroded. The hard drive was in pieces.<\/p>\n

This was a rough start of the cruise, but we need to keep our spirit up and think about the great water samples we are collecting and the new areas we are going to explore.<\/p>\n
