Join UW Oceanography professors John Delaney and Deborah Kelley live as they explore the floor of the Pacific Ocean. Two special ResearchChannel broadcasts, titled "VISIONS '05: Expedition to the Underwater Volcanoes of the Northeast Pacific," will take you one and one-half miles below the ocean's surface. At this depth, hot springs associated with underwater volcanoes support an incredible ecosystem that thrives without sunlight.

The programs document the VISIONS ’05 expedition, a five-week multidisciplinary research cruise that involves scientific experts from across the United States and Canada.
