New Footage from the Desventuradas Expedition

BY: Justine Hausheer

In February 2013, Oceana and National Geographic launched a joint expedition to the Desventuradas, two remote, rocky islands off the coast of Chile. A team of all-star scientists explored one of the last potentially pristine marine environments left in South America. Outfitted with a three-person submarine, the team completed over 280 dives, shooting more than 80 hours of video and 12,000 photos – all completely new to science

To see some of the expedition footage, check out this new video posted by National Geographic:
