Notes: | Much of Mission 2016 focused on searching for HMS Terror. Here, Filippo Ronca and Ryan Harris are lowering a sound velocity probe into the water to calibrate the multi-beam sonar, the instrument that they will use to scan the ocean floor in search of the second lost ship of the 1845 Franklin Expedition. |
