high-altitude bit.ly/KerBalloonProg… crew will tag along with an expedition to a new remote island that was formed by volcanism only within the last century. Meteorologists are interested to see how it affects weather given the relative flat surrounding ocean

high-altitude KerBalloon team have set out from Umbarg aboard the maritime research vessel that will carry them to bit.ly/Area_J8209R. Stuck out in the middle of the ocean, its tall terrain jutting up into the otherwise smooth air creates unique weather effects

maritime vessel carrying our high-altitude KerBalloon team has pulled back into port in Umbarg after an uneventful voyage. Crews report no issues with release or recovery. CFO Mortimer looks forward to depositing our first check of the month
