Antarctica Diving McMurdo October 2012

We are studying the “rock bottom“ of the food chain in McMurdo extreme environments, from the seafloor around Ross Island to ice caves on Mt Erebus and in permanently ice covered lakes in the Dry Valleys. Diving spots include the jetty at McMurdo, Dayton’s wall, Arrivals’ Heights, Turtle Rock, Little Razorback, Cape Evans, and our main experimental site at Evans Wall. Dive footage by Henry Kaiser.
