Doug Perrine; Pictures by Brandon Cole and Doug Perrine
When professional underwater videographer Skip Stubbs picked a select group of three experienced divers to accompany him on an expedition to the middle of nowhere, the goal was simple, if somewhat ambitious: to document the cooperative feeding behavior of striped marlin preying on schooling baitfish. Instead, the ocean dished up a surprise in the form of dark shadows 10 m long that repeatedly crashed the party, and revealed how one of the most mysterious large mammals in the ocean deals with the problem of competitors and uninvited guests in its feeding trough.
The Real Captain Nemo - Anatoly Sagalevich
On 2 August 2007, Dr. Anatoly Sagalevich and his team successfully descended to the geographic North Pole, 4,261m below the surface. The Russian Federation flag was planted. This was an astounding world’s first. The real North Pole is always beneath a thick ice shelf that has a radius of 161 km and where the magnetic influence wreaks havoc on even the most modern navigational aids. Some consider the mission to be more dangerous and arduous than the first landing on the moon…
Elysium: Shackleton’s Antarctic Visual Epic
Sir Ernest Shackleton is from the heroic age of discovery; characterized by benchmark expeditions of geographical and scientific explorations to the Polar Regions. He had high aspirations, some not achieved. He wanted to be the first to reach the South Pole, the first to cross the continent, the first to circumnavigate an unknown continent where no man had ever gone before. And he set out without any of the benefits of modern navigational equipment or radio communication.
