A message someone from somewhere on this expedition off New Zealand understands:
“….Geseënde Kersfees, Nollaig chridheil, Nadolig llawen, Nollaig shona duit, Hyvää joulua ja onnellista uutta vuotta, Joyeux Noël, ….
….Buon Natale, meri keuriseumaseu mich saehae bok manhi bateusaeyo, meri kurisumasu, Schöni Wienachte, singdaanjit tùnhg sànnìhn faailohk (?…), Froue Weihnåcht’n, Froehliche Weihnachten, A Blythe Yule, Glæd Geol, Cr?ciun fericit ?i (?…), singdaanjit tùnhg sànnìhn faailohk, Meri Kirihimete me nga mihi, Happy Christmas (Zimbabwe), En frehlicher Grischtdaag (Pennsylvania!), Merry Christmas….
… We counted about 22 Nationalities on board of the JOIDES RESOLUTION where ~ just in time before Christmas ~ the amazing drill crew and a team of scientists & techs recovered the last core from the deepest hole ever drilled on one site with one drill bit ~ a pretty incredible & phenomenal success of the IODP program!
Bon Voyage and Happy Holidays!
