During Dive 14 of the Windows to the Deep 2019 expedition, NOAA Ocean Exploration’s remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Deep Discoverer was used to explore cold seeps arrayed along a ridge located about 62 kilometers (39 miles) offshore Bodie Island, North Carolina. These methane seeps had never before been visited by autonomous, remotely operated, or human-occupied vehicles, and scientists were excited to watch as we made new discoveries during the ROV's progress up the ridge.
