Rising Above It All

WHOI researchers were treated to a spectacular view of 2000 meters of mountain meeting 500 m of sea water in the Comau Fjord of Northern Patagonia (Chile). Marine chemist Laura Robinson and biologist Rhian Waller visited the La Fundación Huinay research field station to foster collaborations and studies of the nearby deep-water coral ecosystems that occur in the relatively shallow depths of the fjords.
