Astrobiology Update From Lake Untersee, Antarctica

Astrobiologist Dale Andersen Antarctic Status Report 28 November 2017: Last Week at Lake Untersee
“We are in our last week of work here at Lake Untersee before heading back to Novo on the 6th. Hope to get in a few more dives for sample collection and imagery beneath the ice, and we have to pull experiments that are ongoing in the lake right now. … All ok here right now and for the moment our winds are calm; but that will probably change over the the next few hours – maybe we will get lucky and we will miss most of the bad weather forecast for Novo. I am hoping the new met station is up and running but there may be one or two other things we need to do to get it online; once I get confirmation I will let you know and will send you a web link so you can see a daily download of the data. Hopefull it will work. Will check in with you tomorrow with an update.”
