🌊 Welcome! We’re an underwater exploration expedition founded in 2008 by Emmanuelle and Ghislain Bardout. Our 10-year DEEPLIFE scientific program, led by the CNRS, studies marine animal forests in the mesophotic zone (30-200m deep) to protect these ecosystems. Dive in with us!🪸 www.underthepole.org

Last week, we talked with Claire from @underthepole.bsky.social about their deep-sea explorations and research.

She shared discoveries from their Roatán expedition - new coral and sponge species, and the trash they found on the ocean floor 💔

In 2023, #HariBudhaMagar became the first double above-knee #amputee to summit Mt. Everest

He’s a father of three, husband & veteran who lost both his legs to an IED in Afghanistan. He’s determined to positively transform how people with #disabilities are perceived and how they perceive themselves.
