New Zealand | The Fiord Has a Deeper Level
Milford Sound is 290 meters deep and has been surveyed. Its neighbor, Doubtful Sound, is 421 meters deep and has not been fully surveyed below 300m. A 2024 research submersible, during a geological baseline pass, identified a biological community at 380m that is not in any regional species database. Not a new species — a known species community, from a different ocean. Three thousand kilometers away. Present here. The submersible's recording equipment malfunctioned at the 40-minute mark. You have 40 minutes of footage and a return dive scheduled.
