Most of the HACON team is already in this amazing part of the world, preparing for the HACON cruise. The hybrid ROV/AUV NUI is by the R/V Kronprisn Haakon and the NUI team from WHOI have been busy all day getting it ready.
Tomorrow, some of us will take the UNIS sea-ice safety course and the polar-bear guard course, while others continue mobilising equipment on board.
