Seismic waves under the sea!


I was lucky enough to be invited to join a 3 week voyage on Roger Revelle, an American scientific research ship visiting New Zealand to haul up seismometers that had been recording seismic activity on the sea floor around the southern end of the South Island. Unfortunately I was unable to make the trip but managed to tour the ship on its return. The seismometers have a bright yellow casing and bob to the surface flying a flag for easy spotting!
