3D rendering of the seafloor mapping data we collected by circumnavigating Bogoslof. Alvin collects a carnivorous “ping-pong ball sponge.” Alvin collects a rock covered in sponges and other biota. Note the sea fan coral in the background. A curious rattail investigates as Alvin places a sediment core into the sampling basket.
