β€œAt 300 feet [91 meters] down you could see the change in the rock where it used to be land and turned into sea. It was one of the starkest reminders of the danger of climate change I’ve ever seen,” Branson wrote.

And what happened all those years ago to move that from “land’ to “sea”? It had nothing to do with my F150, I can promise you.

Writing on his blog about the trip, Branson commented how the geology of the blue hole served as a vivid reminder of the potential devastation that climate change and rising sea levels could bring to the world.

I’ve been trying to find out who they were, when they went missing, etc and all I found was this:

“Bergman and the rest of the team also found old scientific equipment as well as GoPro with retrievable footage.”
