Drilling Cuttings
Sediment recovered from the drill fluid by centrifuge and sediment rich sea water from the Laboratory core cutting saws and sink was dumped on the sea ice 50 m west of the Lab. Some cuttings and minor spilled drill fluid from the centrifuge were returned directly to the sea via the sea ice access holes.
