Objectives
Penetrate and sample acoustic basement to meet the tectonic objectives.
Drilling Program
Drill and sample a single RCB hole to 200 mbsf into basement.
Downhole Logging Program
Ice conditions permitting, the aim is to log at least one hole. At a minimum, formation density, porosity, resistivity, velocity, and gamma-ray spectrum will be logged.
Nature of Rock Anticipated
Silty clays, clays, siltstone, claystone. Continental crust rock: lithology is not known, but could range from volcanics to carboniferous rocks.
