July 22th. The here and now.
Applause, kind words, handshakes and warm friendly hug finished the 3rd Baikal expedition. Class @ Baikal officially came to an end. During the work of the expedition were selected 180 meters of sediment (92 stations), 464 samples of gas samples, 82-board profile profiler total length of 515 km. Of course, there is still a lot of work: tomography analysis, the study of the mineral composition, exploring gas geochemistry, conferences, etc. But now we are at the Lake Baikal and enjoy every minute of the rest of our trip. We hope that Baikal will take us again next year.
