Cool Blue Recovery

Onboard the R/V Roger Revelle in March 2015, the crew that pilots and oversees the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Jason awaited the return of Medea, Jason‘s partner vehicle, to the ship during an expedition to Havre Volcano in the Kermadec region north of New Zealand. During the month-long expedition, an international team of scientists, technicians, and engineers used Jason and the autonomous underwater vehicle Sentry to investigate the largest recorded submarine explosive eruption in history.(Photo by Adam Soule, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
