Our plant experiments have been a success! Today, the first saplings appeared in the greenhouses that we have built. I have taken over supervising the task of planting varied vegetation on the island. We all want to see this place green and full of life, so almost everyone is eager to help...
We have finished planning for our group expedition. Several boat teams have been assigned to mapping the coasts and perimiter of the island. We have also discovered six islands off the shore of the North Sea Island that we thing are worth investigation. We have set up teams to explore those regions too. The Merchevics will lead the main trek inland, a journey that will take them a week. They hope to reach the center of the island to maybe find a volcanic crater. The expeditions will all begin three days from now, on the 5th. I can not wait!

Our fleet of coastal explorers has returned this morning and brought a rough map of the parameter of the main island and the smaller ones around it. I here include a copy of it:
It's a shame that none of the nations are revealing satellite images of the island. If they were, we would know exactly what lay at the center of the island and its shape. Just another thing we will have to live with for now.
The teams that explored the smaller island reported sea gulls already perching on the ground of some of the island. The land is developing much faster than we could ever have hoped for!
The Merchevics and their party are dew back within a few days. We have had radio communication with them until today... they must be out of range.
