Alvin's Porthole

Mariners Challenge

 

What's it like to ride in the small inflatable boat that takes off from Atlantis to retrieve Alvin? Mike League took a ride and took these pictures at right.

 
Anchors away for the Alvin!


Sea Flicks

This video highlights two fish. The white one staying nestled in among the Riftia is a zoarcid, also known as an eelpout. The larger fish on the move is a rattail. Try to focus on the bottom as the fish swims to get a sense of what the bottom is like.

 

This video shows a frying pan being deployed. A frying pan is a device used to collect a piece of chimney for examination. For more information, check out Mike's Daily Journal!

 

Watch as Shipboard Education Coordinator, Karen Romano Young, gets initiated after her first Alvin dive!
