With unwavering determination, researchers conducted an impressive array of experiments during their journey. They took 492 deep-sea soundings, performed 133 bottom dredges to collect samples from the ocean floor, executed 151 open water trawls to gather specimens at various depths, and recorded 263 serial water temperature observations. These efforts were instrumental in unraveling mysteries hidden beneath the waves. Notably, over 4,700 new species of marine life were discovered throughout this historic mission—species that had previously remained unknown to humankind. This print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's boundless wonders.
