The Arrival
Heights site features a steep slope of volcanic rock tumbling down to 90
feet. Along this slope, hundreds of sea anemones (Urticinopsis
antarctica and Isotealia antarctica) grow, eat, fight, and mate. Because
of the thick snow cover at Arrival Heights, it was extremely dark. This
photograph was taken with a shutter speed of 4 seconds; Dr. Dale Stokes,
the diver, is performing a superhuman feat of endurance by hovering
motionless throughout the long exposure. Behind him stretches a crack in
the sea ice.
