The JR is half-way through Expedition 336: Mid-Atlantic Microbiology!
It has been an action-packed expedition so far, installing subseafloor observatories (CORKS) in the North Pond area of the mid-Atlantic and pulling up a few cores too. You can follow along here.

From Jennifer Magnusson, Education Officer on Expedition 336:
I get a lot of questions from students, family, and friends about what life is like out here on the JR in the middle of the rolling sea, so I thought I’d take a moment and tell you about it. Of course, a picture is worth a thousand words, so I’ve included a few here. That means that a video must be worth about 10,000 words, so I’ve also included one of those... |
