This image, made with a 'drop-camera' from the Esperanza, shows a section of the seabed just north of Hinlopen Strait in the Arctic Ocean. Greenpeace uses state of the art recording techniques to explore the region at depths of between 90 and 190 metres deep within a 5-10 mile circle off 80° 25' N 15¼ 32' E . Their cameras reveal a seabed rich in biodiversity. Greenpeace is calling for the area of the Arctic Ocean historically protected year round by sea ice to be closed to all industrial activity, including destructive fishing.Locations:Arctic OceanDate:14 Jun, 2010Credit:© Gavin Newman / GreenpeaceMaximum size:2560px X 1714pxKeywords:Ascidians-Biodiversity-Bryozoans-Corals-KWCI (GPI)-Oceans (campaign title)-Oceans (topography)-Outdoors-Research-Seabeds-Underwater shotsShoot:Arctic Under Pressure Expedition - SeabedGreenpeace uses state of the art recording techniques to explore the little known seabed of the Arctic Ocean, north of Svalbard. Their cameras reveal a seabed rich in biodiversity. By sending visual imagery (with location and depth data attached) back from the ship by satellite phone, they will share their findings of this unique place with the scientific community. Greenpeace is calling for this area of the Arctic Ocean historically protected year round by sea ice to be closed to all industrial activity, including destructive fishing.Related Collections:'Protect the Oceans' Expedition Launch Collection (Photos, Video & 30x30 Report)Arctic Under Pressure Expedition - Full Set (Photo & Videos)
