Logbook / Written by Eric Roettinger / 8 Oct 2010
Between October 3 and October 22 the schooner TARA sails across the South Atlantic Ocean between Ascension Island and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Mattias Ormestad from Kahi Kai is in charge of the imaging platform onboard, taking both macro and microscopy photos of planktonic sea creatures. Here you can see some creature portraits, sent directly via satellite from TARA.
