ROV Deep Discoverer (D2) explores Veatch Canyon off the coast of Nantucket. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s ship Okeanos Explorer and its robotic sub are providing live coverage of a expedition running until Aug. 16, 2013, that is allowing other scientists and everyday people to follow along.

Until now, the world of the deep sea floor has mostly been the province of scientists where a handful of researchers would huddle on a ship and watch the video from below, take notes, and two or three years later write a scientific paper.(AP Photo/NOAA)
