Discover the mysteries of the Midnight Zone: Scientists announce a mission to depths of the Indian Ocean.
In this handout photo taken in Jan. 2020 and provided by Nekton, scientists lower the “Limiting Factor” submarine into the Mediterranean Sea, part of sea trials before the next stage of the Nekton Mission begins in mid-March. A team of scientists is preparing to dive deep into the depths of the Indian Ocean - into a “Midnight Zone” where light barely reaches, but life still thrives.
To explore such inhospitable depths, Nekton scientists will board one of the world’s most advanced submersibles, called “Limiting Factor.” To withstand such crushing pressures, the sub’s two-person crew compartment is wrapped in a nine-centimeter titanium cocoon. It also carries up to 96 hours’ worth of emergency oxygen.
