Re Geology, Snares
Greetings
Hope all is well with you and Tiama after an interesting but undramatic summer…
Attached for your amusement is the end result of the two trips James and I did with you to the Snares: yes, they are made of granite! Some interesting comparisons with the rest of New Zealand – but at least there’s no oil.
Many thanks – again – for your hospitality and help with our Subantarctic ventures. I hope I can organise another trip on Tiama some time.
Take care

Many thanks Henk, for your hard work and enthusiasm to make our Sub Antarctic trip such a success – I really appreciate that, as I could not have justified a stand-alone trip for myself, or coped with the logistics that harmonised so effortlessly with the Adams Island and Campbell Island albatross teams.
It really was a last chance for me to re-collect some vital rocks from vital places. I must say Henk that you run really faultless operation – it made the hard travel very easy in the circumstances. And congratulations on that red wine – equally impressive – with the good food. Chris Adams GNS Science [email protected]

Greetings
I hope life and sea conditions are treating you and Tiama well.
The attached paper has just (or finally) been published, based on the trip James Scott and I did with you to the Antips in 2011, and on all the other wok that has been done out there in the past. It seems to have a lot of scientific stuff in it – I can’t understand much of it so blame the other co-authors for that. You might find some of it interesting: but of course more work is needed….
Another paper on the Solander Islands geology is supposed to be published shortly – will send a copy of that too, when it turns up.
Looks like we may see more of each other this coming season, as long as the permits are granted – am looking forward to it.
Take care
