February 5, 2012 MBARI researchers return to the Gulf of California
MBARI's flagship research vessel Western Flyer will explore the depths of the Gulf of California from February to May 2012.
Luminous jellies and mysterious squid that inhabit a world of almost no light or oxygen; undersea volcanoes, hydrothermal vents, and earthquake faults; layers of natural gas frozen into an ice-like solid in the seafloor.
