Dive and Discover: Expeditions to the Seafloor
Over the past years, headlines have been made about the discovery of ships that had been lost at sea, and through the use of modern technology, had been found again. Titanic, Bismarck, Yorktown, and others have been featured in several magazines. But the research and adventure that led to these discoveries continue today. The Family Site that we visit today shows one such journey, and the benefits that it yields.
Called Dive and Discover: Expeditions to the Seafloor, this site is an online journal of a trip to explore the Eastern Pacific Ocean. This 47-day voyage, under the guidance of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, is the third study of underwater volcanic activity in this area, the greatest mountain range on the planet. Here you can follow the day-to-day activities of this trip, as well as share in the discoveries as they happen. Along the way you will learn about some of the basics about how our planet is formed, and how it is changing all the time.
This may sound like a dry and boring subject at first glance, but the more time you spend here, the more interesting it becomes. Not all undersea adventures have to have a sunken ship or buried treasure to make it exciting. Enjoy your stop here today.
Family Site of the Day is interested in sites that you, our valued readers, are interested in. If you have a favorite site, or one that has special meaning to you, and you would like to share with others, feel free to email me at [email protected] and we will look at using that site in future site of the day.
