OceanX | The Azores: Crossroads of the Atlantic @OceanX | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
The Azores is a remote archipelago that sits right on top of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Everything converges here, from ocean currents and migrating animals to tectonic plates. This oasis of diverse habitats was the perfect place for scientists onboard OceanXplorer to study both open ocean megafauna and deep-sea ecosystems. Filipe Porteiro joined the mission to lend his decades of expertise to both teams, and to help forge another vital connection, between science and policy.
