 Naval Base Squam has been the temporary home port for several teams of scientists studying the underwater world at the Mariana's Trench. We've had 22 dives during this last leg and every single one of them has been unique and different and it's been an absolute pleasure to be a part of this expedition. We've looked at the progression of geologic history throughout the region so as the trench is subducting the Pacific Plate we've looked at sort of a broken open seamount just as it's about to get subductive some of the oldest seafloor on the planet. Pretty much every dive we see something completely new and completely different is really inspiring. The amazing samples and data that was collected over the last three months will be studied for many years to come. Meanwhile, the Okeanos Explorer will head out to other parts of the Pacific for more research. Reporting from Naval Base Squam, I'm Amy Forsythe.
