Find out what you missed during the seventh leg of the 2011 expedition season. The E/V Nautilus spent 9 days in the Mediterranean Sea, north and south of Sicily, Italy, looking for evidence of hydrothermal vents.
In this dive highlight from November 3rd, watch as the Nautilus crew comes across a viperfish during a dive on the Palinuro Seamount off the coast of Sicily, Italy.
The collection of geologic and biological samples from the deep sea is an important objective of each of the eight legs of this year’s expedition. During a dive, the Hercules and Argus ROV pilots are in constant communication with the expedition leader and chief scientists who guide them in the direction they should head to explore particular targets.
