 | UN_Burned_Up_Bit_HSDP-2b_1.jpg | This is what remains of yesterday's new bit. The cutting teeth are gone, as the cutting matrix has been melted and combined with the rock that was cut. This is a result of drilling without mud circulating through the bit for lubrication. |
 | UN_Snowy_Mauna_Kea_HSDP-2b_1.jpg | This morning's view looking across the street from the drill site revealed a thick blanket of snow on Mauna Kea. Southerly winds dropped snow on Mauna Loa as well, and have brought hot, sunny weather to us here in Hilo. |
