With a huge amount of collaboration and effort, the 40 foot container got lifted up to the ship this afternoon!
Li Ling – Jan 01:
The firework last night was a bit of a bummer, but! 2022 appeared to start with an amazing page!!! New Year’s present for the Swedish team:
RAN is HERE!!!!!! The 40 foot container with RAN in traveled on a truck from Santiago through Argentina and appeared miraculously at the terminal this morning!
Can you find the blue container?
The onboarding for RAN was quite a spectacle. Here are a few of the scientists watching the lifting:
