00:02Researchers on a Greenpeace expedition are exploring the Arctic Deep Sea, one of the least known wildernesses on Earth.
00:08More specifically, they are exploring the so-called Banana Hole to search for undiscovered species and ancient ecosystems.
00:16The Banana Hole is a remote and mysterious area of the Arctic high seas that lies in international waters, located
00:23between Norway and Greenland.
00:25Greenpeace says it is home to seamounts or underwater mountains, as well as volcanic hot springs, which it says acts
00:32as a living library of our planet's history.
00:36However, despite of its importance, the Environmental Organization says the Banana Hole is under threat of deep-sea mining.
00:44The Greenpeace vessel departed earlier this month for a month-long expedition to raise awareness on the danger of deep
00:50-sea mining.
00:51They are now live-streaming from depths down to 3,000 meters until the 30th of May, and the expedition
00:58is expected to last until early June.
