Mountains in the Sea - Exploring the New England Seamount Chain on RV Atlantis in North Atlantic Ocean between 20030711 and 20030719
This summer, an interdisciplinary scientific team spent 9 days
aboard the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's research vessel Atlantis II
and used the deep-sea manned submersible Alvin to explore three volcanic
seamounts in the New England Seamount chain (Bear, Kelvin, and Manning
seamounts). This diverse group of explorers included a scientific complement of
ichthyologists, geneticists, reproductive biologists, oceanographers, and a
hydrographer, along with educators, program managers, two journalists, several
graduate students, and even a scientific illustrator. Because of their
isolation, seamounts act as an oasis in an otherwise barren landscape, and are
known to harbor species found nowhere else. Since most seamounts in the New
England chain have never been explored scientifically, there was great potential
for new discoveries during this expedition.
