Staring at the Abyss
The view of Filicudi from the Ranger is breathtaking, and below the surface is no disappointment either.
The sight of these giant mountain walls with their cracked ledges and ancient, catastrophic origins is a humbling experience when you’re “flying” the ROV just shy of one kilometer under surface of the sea we all are familiar with.
When I see the mud displaced by the ROV fall away and vanish in the deep, I can’t help but wonder about what unseen creatures or elements may be hiding-away lying in the wait in the darkness below.
