A veritable floating laboratory!

As you know from preceding dispatches, the Umitaka Maru is a veritable floating laboratory. At each station, all the scientists on board wait impatiently for the samples to get at the materiel needed for their research.

One last visit with the Umitaka Maru!
Patrice Pruvost. Correspondent aboard the Umitaka Maru
We have good weather today. It is almost warm, with a temperature near 7°C. It is really nice to be able to open the portholes and let in fresh air. The end of the crossing will come soon.
