Hi all,

It is almost there, the time to leave the Netherlands behind and go to Siberia for a month!

Today I got the last research stuff: vacuum air bags, a pump, funnel, and lots of papers to be sure I know what I am going to research. Hopefully I leave Siberia with a hundred bags with methane containing air and lots of small bottles with bubbles catched at the bottom of the lakes. The only thing to do yet, is the get all the heapes of stuff in my bags!

When I think of Siberia, I think of a place which is vast, empty, colorfull, with lots of mosquitos and no sunset. A place which can be cold and hot, changing quickly. But only one thing I am sure of: I have plenty of mosquito repellend, lots of all-weather cloths, a camera and most important: I am really excited to go. So, I am ready to go!

Groetjes,

Elise
