Last summer, we captured incredible selfie footage of @ROPOS_ROV, took ground-breaking temperature measurements with an extra long probe & spotted a rare squid with eggs with the NEPDEP 2024 team. Read about it on our website! https://t.co/ToxqBlnna5 #nepdep #DeepSea

That’s a wrap on the 2024 #NEPDEP expedition! 🎬 Among the most remarkable findings: We mapped the heat flow, skate migration, & nursery ground, & Canada’s first known Precious Coral forest—all on the same seamount!🪸🥚🌋🥚🪸 🎬 Full 4 min video https://t.co/nMXsslA4Jq
