With the progressive relaxation of Covid-related travel restrictions, and the end of the volcanic eruption on La Palma in December 2021, ING is happy to announce that, starting 1 February 2022, we have resumed normal visitor-mode operations at the INT.

Visiting observers are welcome and are encouraged to carry out their observations on site, with the support of the INT support astronomers. Visitors should continue to follow the procedures described in 'ING's Covid-19 procedures for visiting astronomers and contractors'
