The NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer is currently livestreaming its exploratin of the uncharted deep sea ecosystems and seafloor the Wake Atoll Unit of the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument. Tune in between 0830 and 1630 Fiji time for coverage; come for the corals, stay for the scientist banter. (Previous voyages from 2013 and 2014.)

Aaaand I just realised they're wrapping up for the end of the season (and the inclement weather in Fiji). Darn.

Here are some highlight videos from this years' dives.

AAAAg! Tuned in for the sign off! I hope they'll post it in some form other that what it is now because while you can scroll back and look at the dive, the video is very choppy and weirdly compressed....not sure what the proper term is.

Delicate beautiful squiggly scary things at the bottom of the ocean.
