We've just crossed 1000m below sea floor drilling depth. This was the proposed target depth for the project. Our target region of interest, the middle Miocene, was at about 800m, so we can consider the drilling a success.
The drillers will be pulling up the core today and sending down some science instruments to learn more about this hole, and then drill some more, time and ice permitting.
