During the Seascape Alaska 5 expedition, the team navigated challenges ranging from rough weather to poor visibility, and completed 19 deepwater remotely operated vehicles (ROV) dives in the Gulf of Alaska and coastal fjords. Dives revealed brooding octopuses and landscapes covered in brittlestars, and provided a glimpse into the complex ecological and geological processes of the area. The data collected during mapping and ROV operations throughout the expedition will help to fill gaps in our understanding of the deep waters in the region.
