Submersible Dive in Antarctica

Dr Susanne Lockhart, from the California Academy of Sciences and John Hocevar, Oceans Campaign Director for Greenpeace USA and submersible pilot, return from a dive close to Admiralty Sound, Antarctica.

The Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise has returned to the Antarctic Peninsula with scientists Susanne Lockhart and Rachel Downey for a series of dives with a submersible to explore the sea floor. Greenpeace is conducting scientific research and documenting the Antarctic’s unique wildlife, to strengthen the proposal to create the largest protected area on the planet, an Antarctic Ocean Sanctuary.
