It’s a few days into Expedition 366 and we have our first official core samples from the Blue Moon seamount. 

Watch my latest video to learn more and see some blue mud!

These first cores came from the flank (side) of the seamount, and we just started drilling into the summit today. We’re already seeing some more beautiful blue mud, so stay tuned for photos and videos as we continue to explore the undersea mud volcanoes near the Mariana Trench.
