Videos

 

All New Exploration Video courtesy of NOAA Ocean Exploration, 2021 North Atlantic Stepping Stones: New England and Corner Rise Seamounts. During the first dive of the 2021 North Atlantic Stepping Stones expedition, we explored a seamount that had not been mapped, much less visually surveyed, making the dive a true exploration endeavor. Everything seen during the dive was thus new to human eyes and our exploration of the shallowest of three peaks just outside the Bermuda Exclusive Economic Zone did not disappoint.

 

Eyes on the Ground Video courtesy of NOAA Ocean Exploration, 2021 North Atlantic Stepping Stones: New England and Corner Rise Seamounts. “Seven” Seamount was explored on Dive 14 of the 2021 North Atlantic Stepping Stones expedition. The team nicknamed the seamount “Seven” because it was the seventh seamount of the expedition that had not previously been mapped or visually surveyed. As the first “eyes on the ground”, we are seeing things no person has ever seen before and increasing our understanding of our largely unknown ocean.
