On our way back to Auckland, before packing our samples and equipments, the crew of the ship organised a big barbecue on the deck to celebrate the end of the cruise. Then it takes two days to sail back to the port, during this time we summarise the results obtained, and plan our experiments. Our New Zealand colleagues need to tag and catalogue all the samples and take care of the various import and export permits. And once all this is done, then both the crew and scientists prepare the outreach even in Auckland.

| The "Lab No 1" where we actually spend most of our time during the cruise (when not working with samples or lying in bed because of seasickness). |

| Again a meal picture, but this last dinner on board with delicious sushis really deserved a picture. Eating was an important part of this cruise (and of every cruise), and now beside science objectives, scientists need to work hard to loose the weight gained on board... |
