After long flights
from the UK and US, the scientists have converged on Montevideo in Uruguay
where our research ship, the RRS James Cook, is in dock. We stayed in a hotel
last night but will have set to work in earnest today. There are boxes and
containers of equipment to check and unpack, laboratories and computers to set
up, cabins to be assigned and the crew to meet before our scheduled departure
on Tuesday. The weather is currently hot and sunny in Uruguay, though we expect
the temperatures to drop quickly as we set sail for the science area far to the
south. Here are a few pictures of Uruguay and the science party’s arrival:
