Sentry was launched in the “wee” hours of the morning and was recovered this evening in order to avoid worsening weather over night. We are excitedly waiting to see the map it collected across the transfer zone between the normal and oblique ridge segments.
Recovering Sentry at night
Whilst Sentry was mapping, we carried out two more dredges near the transfer zone. Dredge 19 on an adjacent ridge recovered more peridotite, including some interesting plagioclase infused mylonites and some dunites. Dredge 20 deep into the floor of the valley recovered no rocks.
