RV Meteor and (never) back again

by Jochen Wollschläger, Claudia Thölen and Michelle Albinus

Arrival on the Meteor on 21.12.2021, geo-lab, main deck. After the greeting, we are told that our cabins are distributed on the different decks. They hand me my key. Cabin 736. My non-existent sense of direction sounds an alarm - how am I ever supposed to find my way around here? I move toward the door that leads from the geo-lab to the interior of the ship and open it. "Red deck," I hear behind me. I step into the hallway in front of me and a grin creeps onto my face. All the doors and wall elements on this level are painted a rich red. Maybe I would find my way around here faster than I thought.

On 21.12.2021 we (Jochen Wollschläger, Claudia Thölen and Michelle Albinus) boarded the FS Meteor in Las Palmas. Initially, three weeks of transit from Gran Canaria to Punta Arenas, Chile await us. At the moment we are only a total of six scientists from Turkey, Spain and Germany.
