What's at the Bottom of the Mediterranean Sea?
August 20, 2012 - Eratosthenes Seamount, Mediterranean Sea, South of Cyprus. In exploring the deep sea, we come across all sorts of things such as organisms, shipwrecks, and even trash.
Expedition
Eratosthenes Seamount
Nautilus was diving at the Eratosthenes Seamount in search of signs indicating active hydrothermal vents, where warm chemical-rich water is seeping out of the seafloor, and the exotic animals that live on them. While searching for evidence of geological and biological activity, we came across both modern and ancient garbage.
