Alexander von Humboldt was an incredible naturalist who transformed how we see mountains. Now, he has inspired a collaboration between art & science that transforms how we visualize seamounts. So excited to share this beautiful piece with the world… on a newly explored seamount in US waters!

This illustration is one of the coolest I've ever seen. I desperately want copy to put up in my research lab. www.bu.edu/articles/202...

🧽🪸 Deep-sea research on a Pacific seamount reveals distinct coral & sponge zones shaped by depth, currents, and oxygen levels.

The study highlights the understudied & unique biodiversity of #seamounts and the need for targeted conservation.
