Leg 6:
The object of the leg was to complete sampling of the Rona Sheet, carry out initial sampling of the Fair Isle Sheet and to use the new rock drill to complete work on the Orkney Sheet.
In the event, much work was carried out on the Fair Isle Sheet and some on the Foula Sheet, but none was done on the Rona Sheet while the new drill failed to operate effectively. |
