“The HabCam is about a half-million dollar, 3,000-pound piece of scientific equipment that is controlled by a winch, operated inside the Dry Lab (kind of like a computer lab) of the ship by a joystick and a computer program that shows the depth of the HabCam and its height off the ocean floor.”November 26, 2012
“We continue to see skates, various fishes, lobsters and sand dollars, and in places, huge amounts of scallops.”November 19, 2012
