Fig. 3. The remotely operated vehicle (ROV), with headlights on and samplers at the ready, begins its descent. Bottom and top lids of the four large canisters on the frame in front of the ROV are opened hydraulically. The pilot slowly drives the ROV upward to encircle a large animal within one of the chambers, sliding both lids shut when it is completely inside. This tricky maneuver requires great skill because the pilot views the scene through a two-dimensional camera lens, not with three-dimensional optics.
