The morning started with an early EVA, at 8:00 am Ariadna Farres, Anna Bach, Estel Blay and Marta Ferrer (Filmmaker) started getting ready. This is our first EVA and it took over an hour to get ready to leave. The goal of this first EVA was to start the resident artist art project. During the first hour everything was going as planned, however the wind started to blow and the crew had to finish earlier than expected. At 11:30 am the crew was back the the base.
After lunch, Helena Arians, Monica Roca i Aparici, Jennifer Garcia and Marina Martinez went on their first EVA. This EVA had two goals, first scout Compass Rock and collect some geological samples, second setting up a coaxial cable from concrete patch to the base. This EVA started at 2:15am and ended at 4:30pm.
