I get on line every night to check out your progress and am happy you have been able to overcome your obstacles. Stian, it sounds as if you have put in some long nights working on equipment so everything is operational the next day. The team is very lucky to have you. You must be an old hand at this after 40 deployments. It is reassuring to know that my son is with such capable people. This has been the chance of a lifetime for him and we all anxiously await his return to hear first hand about his experiences. He is planning to spend a week touring with David in New Zealand on the way back. He thought Christchurch was beautiful. I am so glad he is getting to see the world as we were not able to take many family vacations while he was growing up. If either of you ever have a chance to visit Montana, we would make an effort to show you around. Keep up the good work!!! Patty Andrea & Stian,

Brian is absolutely the best. I'm in charge of the seismic guns and other equipment and Brian has been one of the few people who is always there to help out no matter how unpleasant the job. There is only one of me and I rely on volunteer labor to get things done. He is an outstanding worker and one of the most pleasant people I've ever gone into the field with (this is about my 40th deployment). You certainly raised him right. Regards, Stian Hi Brian’s Mom!

He is helpful, kind, capable, generous, and overflowing with integrity. He is an integral part of the expedition and the sight of him makes me smile. I often say to myself, "there's Brian, doin' what he does, takin' care of business." Thank You for Brian!! -Andrea Dear Patty,

It's coldest in the morning when I get up and run to the kitchen tent. We usually eat bacon or sausage in the morning and some type of toast. The cook makes us stew at night usually. It is weird sleeping on the ice. Sometimes as I am falling asleep I wonder if the ice I am sleeping will soon be only turbulent ocean once we leave. Thanks for Reading, Andrea Hi LaneSupher,
