#2.29 in Hong Kong
Lotta Liljelund November 30, 2013
Lotta Liljelund is exploring the four corners of the world with Moonhouse #2.29. Recently the expedition landed in Brazil. Now it has reached the far east as Lottas expedition explores Hong Kong in the South China Sea.
Congratulations Lotta on your successful expedition and fair winds for your coming adventures!
On Monday, November 25, Moonhouse #X.1 of the all-new experimental underwater design was placed in the keep of seasoned explorer Robin Lilja in anticipation of an upcoming diving expedition to Indonesia in December.
#X.1 has been extensively tested for submersion also into unfriendly environments. In the image above it is seen in a setup testing the compatibility with 10 yo Glenfarclas concluding that for future similar expeditions the varnish need to be more resilient to this liquid.
The whiskey test was the second submergence test and it was done to see if the design was suitable to use as a non-melting ice-cube. The test failed as it made the whiskley taste bad. The first submergence test was to establish that the model had negative bouyancy and that it did not dissolve in water.
We wish Robin fair winds on his diving expedition and look forward to learning more about it in reports to come.
House on the sand bank in Pemba, Tanzania. Emil Vinterhav February 2013
You will not have missed how the Underwater Room at the Manta resort in Tanzania has created quite a buzz in media world wide over the last few days (c.f. BBC, SvD, Hindustan Times, Yahoo, Huffington Post, Gizmodo, Skift, CNN, Fox News etc.).
The Underwater Room was conceived by Mikael Genberg, the very same artist that conceived the idea of placing a house on the moon. Moonhouse #2.10 explored the Manta Resort and Pemba in February 2013, when the Underwater Room was still under construction. Be sure to check out the report!

Ha Long Bay
#2.24 Stefan Lundin in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. November 10, 2013
On the Vietnamese expedition Stefan and Moonhouse #2.24 made (or maybe failed to make) landfall in Ha Long Bay on November 10.
Stefan writes cryptically:
Ha Long Bay was, exactly as everything else, fantastic. The water was around 26 degrees. I have swum in a lagoon and met Mochba. Tonight I have jumped over bamboo canes to the tunes of drums and falsetto song.
Congratulations on your continuing success on the Vietnames expedition Stefan and fair winds for your coming adventures.
