Yeah....it's important stuff. Liken it to a space shuttle launch or anything other science related.

A suspected eruption occurred a few months ago and when it gets there tonight it will be the world's first look.

Why is that important?

Cause it sits smack tab in the zone called the Juan de Fuca plate. Why is this plate important? It will be this plate that would cause a catastrophic earthquake in Washington or Oregon.

As long as it takes San Francisco with it, I'm all for it!

Telemetry cables...from sensors that ring the area for EQ and volcanics, I believe.

They just passed over a good sized crack in the seafloor.

Thanks.

Not the richest guy in the world could have seen this just fifty years ago.

Actually kind of interesting that the deep sea explorers prefer these remote expeditions to going themselves.

The big difference between this and space is the fact that they can operate the ROVs in real time on the seafloor.
