Still going through tons of videography and photography from #ChallengerDeep. Some sub exit screen grabs from the amazing angle of the swimmer's helmet @GoPro #DeeperSeaDawn

In my mind, there is no more beautiful and precious artwork 🖼 than that of a child! Thank YOU dear Sparrow (daughter of @John_M_Nelson)! This will be framed and put in a place of deep 🥰 honor! Riley appreciates it too! #ChallengerDeep #DeeperSeaDawn

The inspiration continues from my #ChallengerDeep adventure, as I was presented w/this bathymetric map 🗺 (hooray @mapthegaps) and signed by my “good ship Pressure Drop” shipmates - now FRAMED and ready to hang up! DEEPEST ☺️ thanks everyone!

The ocean calms, heals, and renews the spirit, especially in beautiful Palau 🇵🇼! Thank you to my new friends Master Navigator Sesario and President Tommy Remengesau, Jr. for showing us such wonders!

‘We’ve got to help the oceans to help us’: Q&A with deep-sea explorer Dawn Wright On July 12, oceanographer and geographer Dawn Wright was sealed inside a submersible, traveling to Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. Wright and her travel companion, explorer Victor Vescovo of Caladan Oceanic, managed to reach a depth of 10,919 meters (35,823 feet) below the surface of the ocean, […]

This being #SharkWeek, I give you lovely black-tip sharks 🦈 from Palau 🇵🇼 and their lovely remora pals
#DeeperSeaDawn

What did we see upon 1st touching bottom, at 10,900+m depth w/in #ChallengerDeep? A BEER BOTTLE! 😫 Further evidence that we MUST as humanity do BETTER by the ocean and for the health of habitats that we ourselves share & ultimately depend on!!! #ThereIsNoPlanetB #DeeperSeaDawn

Home again! Shares from Palau 🇵🇼 island 🏝 adventures hopefully coming soon via @GoPro.

And lest we forget, here in 2022, over a half CENTURY *after* 2 men first walked on the moon, @VictorVescovo and President Tommy Remengesau, Jr. are the FIRST two humans to descend to the Palau Trench!

#ChallengerDeep #DeeperSeaDawn

An absolute treasure of an experience: interacting w/ President Tommy Remengesau of Palau 🇵🇼, a true hero of the planet 🌏, and seeing him descend this morning w/@VictorVescovo to the Palau Trench #DeeperSeaDawn #ChallengerDeep

@Snoopy goes to sea (ascending at this point, 1019 m)! 😆 #ChallengerDeep #DeeperSeaDawn

Sesario, son of the Master Navigator Papa Mau Piailug, continues to carry on his father’s legacy through his teaching of traditional way-finding at Palau 🇵🇼 Community College. The very best of #mappyness in my humble opinion! 🌺 <end thread 🧵 > #DeeperSeaDawn

Getting safely into & out of the Limiting Factor sub takes practice, but am ready for tomorrow thx to my roommate Kate Wawatai, the only female member of the support team + a fine submersible pilot in her own right & as the 1st female Maori!! 🇳🇿#ChallengerDeep #DeeperSeaDawn

It begins #ChallengerDeep #DeeperSeaDawn #ArcGISFieldMaps

We are in the best of bathymetric mapping hands with the wonderful Roxy Wigley at that helm! There many gaps that we will indeed be mapping with EM124 over the next 10 days! Go @mapthegaps, @seabed2030 @GEBCO_NF_Alumni @gebcobathymetry

Such an honor and pleasure to meet Gov. Guerrero of Guam b/f our departure this morning, and to discuss mapping for ocean conservation #ChallengerDeep #DeeperSeaDawn

Loved hanging out with some of the DSSV Pressure Drop crew (from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and the Philippines 🇵🇭 ), this evening before dinner. The place to hang is the “Sky Bar” above the bridge (empty now due to rain).
#ChallengerDeep #DeeperSeaDawn

Now onboard “the good ship Pressure Drop,” completed 1st bit of filming with the great Nick Verola, and hanging out in the mapping lab with the amazing Roxy Wigley of @mapthegaps #ChallengerDeep #DeeperSeaDawn

Good morning again Guam! 🇬🇺So excited to board the DSSV Pressure Drop later today, but in the meantime, enjoying the quiet resort beach in the rain and drizzle #GuamRainySeason #ChallengerDeep #DeeperSeaDawn

Lovely interview just now with Freda Kreier for @Nature via Zoom in advance of the #ChallengerDeep dive! Thanks also @alexwitze #DeeperSeaDawn @GISandScience

Good morning Guam 🇬🇺! Great to be in this beautiful place which is currently in its rainy season. Will board the DSSV Pressure Drop tomorrow local time (July 9). I’m now 1 day ahead of a lot of friends due to the Intl Date Line. #DeeperSeaDawn #challengerDeep cc @GISandScience

Soooo good to be “home” in Hawaii nei, 🌺 even if only for a super brief layover 🥰 #HNL #DeeperSeaDawn
