Hydrothermal vent fields are often vibrant oases in stark contrast to barren spaces nearby. Although biomass may be high, biodiversity may be relatively low. This is typical of environments in extreme conditions w/ good & accessible energy (food) supply #MappingGalapagosVents
I finally get to share with the world a bit of the beauty of the Galapagos deep sea coral reefs. This is 'El Cacho de Coral 🥐' AKA 'Croissant'. We got to revisit this site during the #MappingGalapagosVents cruise. What a magnificent place!! 🪸🪸🪸🪸 Schmidt Ocean
Mmkay, I'm done with the break & ready to get back to diving! 👀
In the meantime, here's what I think is a liocranchia reinhardti squid that we saw during Schmidt Ocean dive 613 part 4 ascent. Pinguinos hydrothermal field. #MappingGalapagosVents
Vid was quiet, so I added sound
The deep sea is awesome! It’s wilder than your wildest dream. It constitutes the majority of this blue planet & it’s unseen processes support life as we know it! 🌎
Happy #DeepDay 2023 !

What a beautiful encounter while recovering ROV SuBastian. Octopus are the coolest and a glass octopus is a dream Schmidt Ocean #SuBastian #MappingGalapagosVents OctoNation® World’s Largest Octopus Fan Club 🐙 Memorial University
Santa didn't go down these chimneys!🎅
Black smoker hydrothermal vents seen on #MappingGalapagosVents expedition. Some of these rocky chimneys can rise 50+ meters from the sea floor and grow as fast as 30 centimeters per day.

Happy Halloween from the Spooky scientist on board RV Falkor (too) 🎃🐙🪼🐟🦈 #MappingGalapagosVents Schmidt Ocean 🐙🐙❤️☺️ Memorial University
Star on a Tree? Not quite, but we hope this anemone on a lava pillar still fills you with sea-sonal joy. Seen during the #MappingGalapagosVents expedition, a collaboration w/ Parque Galápagos & Charles Darwin Foundation-Fundación Charles Darwin.
Why am I on a research vessel ⛴️ in the Pacific Ocean? Using InSAS, a new kind of sonar to map the seafloor at ultra fine-scale resolutions for my PhD! ⚒️🔬🌎

Those suckers are really amazing. What a close up! Schmidt Ocean #MappingGalapagosVents #glassoctopus
全潜航が終了した後は、ガラパゴス諸島上陸！
All dives complete, we got to spend some time on the Galápagos Islands!

Thought this was a periphyllopsis too, but I think I'm wrong. Can my jelly ID friends help out? Dive 616 Schmidt Ocean #MappingGalapagosVents
This Vitreledonella glass octopus was so ethereal. Bonus jelly friend in first pic. Schmidt Ocean #MappingGalapagosVents
The OFI_BEcoME science team are part of Schmidt Ocean “Project Zombie” - testing the latest Kraken Robotics seafloor mapping technology. Excited to be part of this mission! #MappingGalapagosVents @OFIgovResearch Dalhousie Science Memorial University
We disembarked Schmidt Ocean R/V Falkor (too) in Panama City after a very successful cruise!
パナマ市で下船しました！

Threw together a little video of the artist-at-sea art w/ ascent critters. If anyone knows the name of the artist for this expedition plz tell me, cus I can't find it. Thanks! Awesome expedition, thanks so much Schmidt Ocean! #MappingGalapagosVents Dive 616
Currently exploring hydrothermal vent sites at 85°50W in the Pacific Ocean🌊⚓️. The ROV dive is streaming NOW on Youtube 🛰️ #MappingGalapagosVents
