I would SO love to do this! When I took my ice diving class, a number of the people in the class said they were there because they wanted to dive in Antarctica some day. Way cool…

Fascinating video! The clarity of the water was astonishing to see. Wish I could have been there with them.

Interesting! Are there plans to have web cams in the Antarctica with streaming video and sound? That would be cool.

WOW! That’s really impressive. Who would have believed the wonderful diversity under the Antartic ice. I really wish I were younger, I’d sure ’nuff attempt the training to be with you.

This video had no human sound, only water gurgling.

Great video!
The SI Scholarly Press will publish “Proceedings of the Smithsonian Marine Science Symposium” edited by Michael Lang, Ian Macintyre, and Klaus Ruetzler. It will appear in Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences, no. 38, due out in a few weeks.

This is really interesting – not only the research but also the specialized equipment that these folks have to use. I still can’t imagine getting in that water though!
