False Solutions Report: Throwing Away The Future

After an overnight steam to another seamount on Challenger, we’re sending down the camera again. After yesterday, I’m definitely apprehensive that we’re just going to see more of the same destruction, but there's a surprise in store.

We survey for four hours, but we’re just seeing screen after screen of destruction. Everyone suddenly feels exhausted by it, it’s obviously not what we want to see as our lead scientist Kat sums it up. 

We’ve arrived back at Challenger Plateau to finish surveying the sites we had to move on from last week due to weather. The waves are too high to put the gear down so it's time for a break.
