This looks like an awesome project for teens! How exciting is this?
Imagine diving 6,000 feet under the ocean’s surface in a submersible to bear witness as a new island is born.
Then climbing more than 13,700 feet to the summit of a million-year-old dormant volcano.
At the top, you’re treated to an up-close look at the vast universe beyond, through one of the world’s most powerful telescopes.
That’s exactly what a group of scientists from the Tampa Bay area will do in October at Mauna Kea on Hawaii’s Big Island. Operation: Deep Climb is the joint venture of an impressive gathering of scientists.
And some of them haven’t even entered high school yet. It’s all made possible by SCUBAnauts International, a science organization for 12- to 18-year-olds.
