RE: Aquarius Reef Base: An Actual Underwater Lab, and the Last of a Dying Breed
This is so frikken COOL!
I've always been fascinated by the ocean and all that it holds. I wonder what it would be like to live down there for a while. When I was (much) younger, I actually had ideas of studying a field that would take me to Antarctica research stations. I don't know what it is about testing one's extremes that prompt adventurous spirits. Thank you for sharing these photos! I really had no idea it existed and my imagination and wonder are through the roof right now :)
Oh me too, I think my fascination with such facilities is just an outgrowth of when I was 12 and obsessed with cool forts. What cooler fort is there than an underwater lab, space station, or Antarctic research base?
I practically lived in my treehouse when I was a kid...and under the table in the winter. I don't know that I'd strap into a vehicle with like a million gallons of fuel to jet into space, but I would certainly go under water or brave the cold... perhaps in another life :)
