🌊 Welcome! We’re an underwater exploration expedition founded in 2008 by Emmanuelle and Ghislain Bardout. Our 10-year DEEPLIFE scientific program, led by the CNRS, studies marine animal forests in the mesophotic zone (30-200m deep) to protect these ecosystems. Dive in with us!🪸 www.underthepole.org

Last week, we talked with Claire from @underthepole.bsky.social about their deep-sea explorations and research.
She shared discoveries from their Roatán expedition - new coral and sponge species, and the trash they found on the ocean floor 💔

In 2023, #HariBudhaMagar became the first double above-knee #amputee to summit Mt. Everest
He’s a father of three, husband & veteran who lost both his legs to an IED in Afghanistan. He’s determined to positively transform how people with #disabilities are perceived and how they perceive themselves.

Remember Leland Melvin and his viral NASA portrait? Well he wrote a graphic novel called Space Chasers which is a STEAM heavy sci-fi about some kids who get the chance to go up in space. #booksky #blackbooksky #scifi #spacesky

A huge thank you to Jessie Rack, PhD, for joining us to share her passion for amphibians!
Fun fact: the Japanese giant salamander 🦎 can grow up to 5 feet long and has been around for 30 million years!
If you didn't know they were the biggest salamander in the world - now you do!
