Urania Basin
a DHAB: Deep Hypersaline Anoxic Basin
The woman who gave me this small sample, Cathy Offinger, passed it to me with a dramatic story of what it was like to be a woman on a ship that was partly in lock-down because they were responders to a call for help from a sinking fishing boat. Ninety-three Egyptian refugees boarded R/V Atlantis. The story, plus slide shows on “Dive and Discover”.
