Dear interested reader, colleagues, friends and families,
after days of travelling and lab work, we arrived at our sampling station in the Atlantic Ocean (Image 1-4). Our schedule is meticulously prepaired, there is not much time for reports. But we want to let you know, that we are fine and excited about the next discoveries from the deep sea.

Liebe interessierte Leser, Kollegen, Freunde und liebe Familien,
nach Tagen der Fahrt und Laborarbeit sind wir an unserer Beprobungsstation im Atlantik angekommen (Bild 1-4). Unser Zeitplan ist sorgfältig ausgearbeitet und es bleibt wenig Zeit für Berichte. Aber wir möchten Sie wissen lassen, dass wir wohlauf und gespannt auf die nächsten Entdeckungen aus der Tiefsee sind.
Ihr M139-Team

Image 2 | The CTD rosette sampler with two dozens of water tubes is bringing each 10 L of water samples from different depths. We had three CTDs in the last days and are still running our filtering machines to enrich organisms in our samples. (Photo: Johannes Werner)
