Geologists Ian Dalziel of Columbia University and Peter Barker of the University of Birmingham led a multinational scientific team aboard the research ship Glomar Challenger this spring, probing the ocean depths east of the Falkland Islands. Lowering a coring drill 8,500 ft. to the bottom, they penetrated through 1,835 ft. of sediment before beginning to bite into the solid rock that they were looking for.
