Come along on a 1,000-mile journey as researchers explore the depths of the Bering Sea and North Pacific Ocean along Alaska's Aleutian Island chain. Their quest: to record images of never-before seen deep-sea corals and create a comprehensive map of coral life along the ocean floor.

Location:
At Adak
I have left the R/V Roger Revelle and am at Adak, along with a group of the coral researchers, awaiting the flight back to Anchorage. To allow the ship to stay at sea and squeeze in another dive, we disembarked from the ship down a rope ladder, and boarded a skiff which carried us into Adak. Once its Aleutian Island dives are complete, the ship will continue on to Honolulu.
