"What lies off Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, in the Coral Sea? The
region was mostly unexplored and uncharted until a recent expedition
searched its dark waters, uncovering an abundance of life, weird
geologic features and spectacular deep corals. The deepest forays
reached down more than a mile.
The expedition was organized by the Schmidt Ocean Institute, founded by
Eric Schmidt, the former chairman of Google, and his wife, Wendy. Its
centerpiece was a ship, nearly the length of a football field, that
could map the remote seabed with beams of sound and deploy tethered and
autonomous robots to capture close-up images of the inky depths."
