WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:10.080 This is a feature lovingly named the "Richardson Jellyfish." 2 00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:16.720 When you look at the bathymetry of this area, it has a very strange shape to it. 3 00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:26.680 The Okeanos Explorer has been out here mapping in this Blake Plateau region since I guess about 2010, 2011. 4 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:36.440 Since that time, we've actually mapped over 65,000 square kilometers of seafloor. 5 00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:46.040 That's about the size of West Virginia or so. So that's a very impressive thing to have done in our 10 years occupation of the Okeanos Explorer and our seafloor mapping endeavors. 6 00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:59.240 We keep finding these mounds. We keep finding these ridges. We keep finding these scarps. That have evidence of life that was previously unknown to be there. 7 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:08.360 That's what we do on the Okeanos Explorer is that we connect these pieces, we investigate and we explore. 8 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:18.120 It's very exciting and fun time to provide, again, that spatial context, which I love connecting those dots.
