ABOUT
The quest to understand the seabed began in 1872 when HMS Challenger set sail from Portsmouth on the first sea voyage devoted to science.
Sailing for three and half years and almost 69,000 nautical miles, scientists and crew alike braved the stifling heat of the tropics for months on end only to suffer the stupefying cold of the Antarctic, enduring danger on the high seas, risking all in the pursuit of knowledge. The undertaking was nothing short of a roaring success.
Illustrated with drawings and charts.
