The 2011 expedition has ended. The science team disembarked in Haifa, Israel. The crew is taking the Nautilus to Bodrum, Turkey for some testing and demobilization.

From July through November 2011, the E/V Nautilus set out to explore ancient history and learn more about the geology and biology of the ocean. In this summary, watch the highlights from this exciting season!
