We worked on over 60 field science projects, as well as a huge campaign of science trials on the #RRSSirDavidAttenborough. During the #SDAScience trials, the team took the first โ€˜cleanโ€™ seawater chemistry samples for the new ship using the trace metal CTD. ๐Ÿ“ธ @griffiths_huw

From the time the #USA came into being there have been setbacks like Vietnam, Afghanistan. These are not found in Rev13, which has no time gaps. How can USA be the 2 horn beast? #Adventist #Adventism #sdascience #happysabbath #sda #Holyspirit #Biblestudy #faith

And finally, Bosun's Mate Alan Howard took crafting to the next level by *whittling actual sculptures* ๐Ÿ˜ฒ Here's a whale's tail made to celebrate a colleague's special birthday while on the #SDAScience trials, as well as a whale for Alan's son. Alan... we want one. Please? 5/5

Amid an intensive schedule of night fishing & instrument deployments, @griffiths_huw found quiet moments to make this ink drawing of whales seen on the #SDAScience expedition ๐Ÿณ Featuring long-finned pilot, minke, fin, humpback & orca. We reckon this has pointillism vibes? 2/5

โ€œSeeing what you found has made me rethink what an animal is and where it can live.โ€ High praise from @griffiths_huw @morroghmax's colleagues after a marathon science trawl of the Hesperides Deep on the RRS Sir David Attenborough's #SDAScience trials ๐Ÿ‘‡ ow.ly/VrsU50NnVTA

Over the past week @griffiths_huw & @morroghmax, the crew and #SDAScience team have been testing the new deep sea research capabilities of the #RRSSirDavidAttenborough in one of the deepest and least explored parts of #Antarctica, the Hesperides Deep! ๐Ÿงต(1/4)

The trawls and cameras revealed a range of weird, wonderful and fascinating creatures living in a habitat dominated by cold temperatures, enormous pressure and soft mud! When the samples return we can start the difficult job of putting names to them all! #SDAScience (4/4)

Using a range of equipment, the #SDAScience team have set about trying to understand this unique habitat. We deployed up 7.6km (4.7 miles) of winch cable at a time (over 100 km/62 miles in total), to lower 2 camera systems, 2 types of trawl and the CTD into the abyss! (3/4)

The Hesperides Deep includes two basins that get as deep as 5.6 km (3.5 miles) in depth - making it amongst the deepest 6% of the Southern Ocean sea floor. To our knowledge, nobody has ever reported collecting sea floor creatures from this abyssal area before!! #SDAScience (2/4)
