Introduced by Ms Gry Molvær, the feature shows spectacular footage from 3000-4500 m depth in the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone. The MIR dives were funded by NOAA Ocean Exploration Initiative, USA, and the A.P. Sloan Foundation. This video is in norwegain without subtitles.
	7.4 mb	Mar-Eco_video.wmv 28 Apr 2004 17:10 The MAR-ECO video was produced by Klockargårdens Film AB of Lund, Sweden, by Michael Palmgren.

	5.0 mb	Bioluminescence.avi 28 Apr 2004 17:10 The sequence shows numerous light flashes produced by light-producing organisms such as zooplankton or small fish. Bioluminescence is common among deep-living pelagic animals, and in this case it was recorded by an instrument being lowered through the water column from the surface to a few hundred metres. The instrument was constructed by the OCEANLAB group led by Professor I.G. Priede of the University of Aberdeen, Scotland.
