Description
What is it like to go on an oceanographic cruise? Join in as scientists, pilots, and ship's crew sail the Pacific on the research vessel Atlantis, combining their skill, enthusiasm, and dedication to make a successful science cruise. You'll watch shipmates prepare for their cruise, sail to sea, and then dive deep to the seafloor in the submersible Alvin. It's an unforgettable journey.
