[QUOTE=Chinook249;35213095]9 hours in a teeny steel tube. I struggle with 4 hours in a comfy car. By the way, how cold is it down there? Got heater?[/QUOTE] Just above freezing, I think. Colder than your refridgerator, but not quite as cold as the freezer
[QUOTE=TheTalon;35228493]Just above freezing, I think. Colder than your refridgerator, but not quite as cold as the freezer[/QUOTE] Somewhere between ~300 degrees Celsius to just above zero depending on how close you are to the geothermal vents.

I guarantee they'll make an IMAX 3D movie out of what they shoot. I'll go see it that's for sure.

[quote= The Census of Marine Life.]Scientists estimate that there are more than 1 million marine species but only about 250,000 have been formally described in scientific literature over the centuries. Those figures exclude microbes -- of which the census estimate there are up to 1 billion kinds. The census also collated information on the 16,764 species of fish that have ever been described -- but estimates that a further 5,000 have yet to be discovered. The amount of marine life yet to be detailed varies wildly by region. The census estimates only 10 percent is yet to be described in European waters -- but that figure rises to 75 percent for the deeper waters of the Mediterranean and 80 percent for the seas around Australia.[/quote] [editline]21st March 2012[/editline] Scientists practically find a new species every time they dive. This is why ocean exploration is so important. We know literally nothing about this blue ocean planet.
