We are uh about 270 miles northeast of Bermuda. Three seamounts
have never been visited before. They've never been
mapped before this morning. We're doing a true exploration
dive this morning. As Rhian said, this is all new
exploration, so we're seeing this for the first time.
There's of course the the iron manganese crust that will tell
us something about water chemistry and mineral
composition. We can use that to uh understand the evolution of
of this seamount and also figure out an age of when the
material was was erupted. You know, expeditions like this and
the tools that the Okeanos Explorer provides are really
valuable because we get this material that can go to the
museum and then we can do these comparative studies.
