Detailed Description
NOAA Ocean Exploration’s remotely operated vehicle Deep Discoverer will be used during Voyage to the Ridge 2022 to acquire high-definition visual data and collect limited samples in poorly explored areas along the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and Azores Plateau. Here, Deep Discoverer hovers above several large igneous boulders covered in bamboo corals during a dive on a seamount within the New England Seamount Chain.
