What's  Happening at

The underwater site designated "POLARIS B" is shown above by satellite photography.  In the crosshairs is the underwater location where the Atlantica Expeditions’ Leviathan Habitat will be positioned for the attempt at breaking the world's record for longest stay underwater  by an aquanaut set by Rick Presley in 1992.  But instead of being broken by a single aquanaut, the Atlantica Expeditions will make the attempt with three aquanauts.
 
 

In preparation for the mission, an Atlantica Expedition’s Aquanaut Team will survey the Polaris B site and place two sets of data collection probes onsite.  One set will be positioned on the seafloor and the other on a buoy positioned on the surface.  The data collection probes  will begin to collect a continuous uninterrupted data stream on the conditions of the underwater site and simultaneous surface conditions.

Meanwhile, a year before Leviathan touches down, the New World's Explorer will land on the site and begin to house two aquanauts for 24-48 hour site studies and advanced data collection.

This information will assist the 90 day aquanaut team to know exactly what to expect during the conduct of their mission such as water temperature profiles, visibility and currents as compared to the surface meteorology.

Beginning with the first data collected,  all of the data and graphs collected from POLARIS B will be presented here on this page so you can also track this information along with the Atlantica team.
 

What to expect:

Each graph of data will be interpreted, of course and evaluated in plain english as well as how the information
figures into the mission planning.

Be sure and chack back as the probes are placed at the site on the seafloor!
