We are exploring the underwater world of the LaHave Islands for a week. Follow this thread to see what we’ve been finding. #LahaveIslandsExpedition

"We're not just going down there with a litter picker ... we're talking about putting down mining equipment the size of combine harvesters"

Marine biologist Tom 'the Blowfish' Hird warns of the potential ecological dangers of deep sea mining

We’ve done it again! 🎉🤩 Another black smoker found at Puy des Folles on our last dive of the #LostCityVents expedition on #FalkorToo 🌋💥🦐 Look at the beautiful beehive chimney! 🐝 #MidAtlanticRidge #HydrothermalVents #DeepSea

It takes a village for these expeditions to operate and be successful. These are just a few of the names of those involved in the 500th ROV SuBastian dive 🎉 Congratulations to the @SchmidtOcean crew for this exciting milestone! #FalkorToo #LostCityVents

The ROV Mission Control room is all decked out and ready for ROV Subastian’s 500th dive! We are live streaming around 3:30am Eastern until early evening! Join via #Divestream ! https://t.co/BkfXzOP2UK #LostCityVents #PuyDesFolles #ROV #Subastian #Dive500 #WhatWillWeFindNext

With the right team and support, anything is possible! Amazed and grateful to be part of this team and for the chance to explore the deep sea and discover these three active hydrothermal vent fields! Thank you @SchmidtOcean and @JulesDeep #FalkorToo #LostCityVents #WHOI 🌋🦐🌊🐌

We found blacksmoker vents at Grappe Deux! We are on a roll! 😍🦐🐌#LostCityVents #GrappeDeux #Blacksmokers #Falkortoo #Vents #Deepsea #Ocean #Microbes #Viruses #Rocks #Auv #ROV #Subastian #CTD #MidAtlanticRidge #WHOI

Just finished an amazing dive at a new site full of black smokers- we found it with CTD, chemistry, & AUVs. This map (thanks Jeff!) shows the new 1 m resolution bathymetry - we were able to pick out chimneys to sample with ROV. #LostCityVents #falkortoo #deepsea #vents #explore

[Bayleigh Benner, PhD @tampabayleigh]

We are going live! Join us as we hunt for vents at the Kane Fracture Zone. Our CTD and AUV results are very promising! 🌋 https://t.co/BkfXzOP2UK

The REGULATOR for the international seabed is selling “nodule bracelets” at #ISA28 where world governments are discussing whether industry can start to mine for polymetallic nodules and You. Could. Not. Make. This. Shit. Up. #StopDeepSeaMining

[Megan Davies @M_Davies]

After days of nonstop searching, a plume signal was finally found in early hours this morning! Next stop, a vertical CTD followed by AUV deployment before our next ROV dive 🤗 #LostCityVents #FalkorToo #MidAtlanticRidge

[Julie Huber, PhD @JulesDeep]

Update from #lostcityvents expedition with @SchmidtOcean - still working our @MBARI_News AUV + CTD magic, trying to cover a lot of ground before putting ROV in again! We have surveyed over 50km^2 with the AUVs- Thanks to Jeff @noaapmel for this very cool 3D view! #falkortoo

[Kathy Degner @CaliKatBird]

Beautiful sponge with a crinoid, some brittle stars and barnacles. #LostCityVents ⁦@SchmidtOcean⁩

Recent footage of a shark species seen during the #FalkorToo Kane Fracture Zone ROV dive. I’m thinking it’s a Portuguese dogfish (Centroscymnus coelolepis)… any selachologists out there want to weigh in? 🤔🦈@WhySharksMatter ? #shark #ROV #LostCityVents #MidAtlanticRidge

[Julie Huber, PhD @JulesDeep]

Update from #lostcityvents expedition with @SchmidtOcean --we continue to work at the East Kane fracture zone, mapping with the ship & @MBARI_News AUVs, while also collecting samples w/ the CTD & ROV, trying to get our geological bearings & chemical signatures! Next dive time TBD

[Julie Huber, PhD @JulesDeep]

Current status of #FalkorToo & our #LostCityVents expedition with @SchmidtOcean — beautiful new high resolution mapping data beam of Puy de Folles along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge from the @mbari_news AUVs, together with CTD data, helped us locate a new site of black smokers 1/2

[Megan Davies @M_Davies]

BLACK SMOKER, I REPEAT, BLACK SMOKER!!!!! Puy does Folles #FalkorToo #LostCityVents

[Megan Davies @M_Davies]

Melissa Anderson from @UofT says this newly discovered vent must be at least 355 degrees in temp to cause such boiling at this depth! 🤩 #FalkorToo #LostCityVents

[Megan Davies @M_Davies]

Needless to say, there are a lot of happy scientists in this room 🤩#FalkorToo #LostCityVents
