The movie of deep sea

　Hello, everyone.
　I introduced three fish of deep sea with the last report. It is further deepened this time. It focuses on all deep sea and introduces focusing on an movie. Let's approach attractive deep sea more.

　First, there is an organization which investigates the sea in Japan. It is called "JAMSTEC." They are not conducting investigation under the government. It stepped forward one new step as an independent administrative agency in 2004. Their existence is indispensable to marine research of Japan. Necessity of the existence increased further by the big earthquake in 2011. Let's get to know deep sea more after being based on their activity.

　The image here will be broadcast from NHK in August, 2012. It is a precious image when the "hyper-dolphin number" of JAMSTEC searches deep sea. This diving place is Okinawa. Depth of water is 1400 meters. What kind of the world spreads out sure enough?

　As the image was suited, the arm of a submarine can be operated by remote control. A left photograph is a controller. The two arm  are called the robot arm. If a small arm operation term is moved, it is possible to a fine motion just like man's hand. And that it should further observe is a monitor which projects this Hi-Vision image. This monitor is the same as an "eye" for the human being who operates it. Each has an important role.
　Moreover, the structure called a "chimney" appeared in the second half of an image. This chimney is introduced with a future report. Can it be said that it is the same as approaching the actual condition of the earth to study deep sea?

 Let's go to the next movie.

　Recently, the top news about deep sea was reported. A legendary monster --Giant Squid--it is having succeeded in the photography of the figure which the cuttlefish is alive and swims. Giant squid is proud of the size of the world's largest class as a friend of a cuttlefish or an octopus. An 18-meter thing is also checked at the maximum. Since deep sea was inhabited, the ecology was strange, but it became one big step by having succeeded in image photography for the first time.
　Then, please look at an movie.

　It is a very wonderful image?
　It is said that the 50 staff participated from 11 nations in scientists or engineers in order to photo this image. A filming site is Ogasawara Islands in Japan. It will be excited if it thinks that that living thing [ like ] is alive to the seabed in Japan.
　But photography did not necessarily progress simply. It was the investigation and preparation to which what and the time as long as ten years were applied. 100 thing under which they go to the seabed, and its time reached also in 400 hours. The rhubarb which does not appear easily. It is said that various strategy was given to the Giant squid.This image has held many Japanese's heart.

　In addition, many deep sea images are exhibited in JAMSTEC. In this blog, there are many great images, so that it cannot introduce! How about looking in at the site of JAMSTEC?
