It takes many people to run a ship like this one – we need folks with hundreds of different kinds of skills and backgrounds. And they are a truly international team, hailing from many different countries. Take a look at some of the people on this expedition!

Wondering how the coring actually works? Watch this animation of the coring process to see how the drill pipe gets to the seafloor, how it penetrates the layers, and brings up cores for scientists to analyze.

From Joe Monaco, our Expedition 329 Education Officer:
The first core of basement rock was brought on deck yesterday! There was a lot of anticipation, as we heard the infamous, "Core on deck" announcement; the scientists gathered on the core deck to see the first rock core of the expedition.
