Abstract

But arguably the real star of the expedition was marine geologist Cassie Bongiovanni, the lead ocean mapper who ensured Vescovo piloted his submersible to the actual deepest depths. These state-of-the-art sonar systems transform "the satellite-predicted blur into a sharp three-dimensional terrain of ripples, cracks and tears in the seafloor", Trethewey writes. In 2019, the multimillionaire and explorer Victor Vescovo made headlines when he became the first person to visit the deepest parts of all five of Earth's oceans. [Extracted from the article]
