AND CHINESE OCEAN EXPEDITIONS: 600 YEARS APART BUT CONNECTED
Two ocean expeditions, one in 1405 and another in 2005, are
600 years and oceans apart but are now connected by the voice
of a Chinese scientist on the Internet. A series of four daily
messages, which began July 10, were recorded in Chinese by
Cai Minghong at sea on a NOAA-funded mission in the Arctic
Ocean, and posted on the NOAA Ocean Explorer Web site with
English text. Cai is part of an international team of 46 scientists
on "The Hidden Ocean, Arctic 2005," a month-long
NOAA-sponsored expedition to the frigid depths of the Canada
Basin—located in the deepest part of the Arctic Ocean
in an area that is hidden by sea ice for most of the year
and difficult to reach.
