Journey to the Deep Sea Vents

[deirdre]

I don't know how many of you follow hookahjoe, who has one of the more interesting jobs in the world for those of us who love travel and oceans: he works on a marine research vessel.

This is the deep sea vent photo entry.

I should warn that his blog is frequently not worksafe from language and occasional nudity, so keep that in mind if you want to see more. He can be an amazing photographer, especially of the everyday in foreign countries.

Here's one he calls the money shot:




Cold day in heavy seas


Lady in Varanasi, India


Baby sea turtles in Sri Lanka


Lantern festival in Chiang Mai


Salento, Columbia


Aurora Australis (Southern Lights)


All that, and more, from just the last seventeen months of archives.
