Description
Galapagos 2005 Expedition. The Medea camera sled was deployed during the cruise to visually show us the seafloor. Although black smoker vents had been foundduring the cruise with previous chemical analysis, their existence was notconfirmed until the camera sled was deployed and sent us live video of the vents.
