The R/V Roger Revelle was the first ship to be connected to HiSeasNet, for constant Internet access, and Roadnet, for distributing data and observations in real-time. The connections enable scientists and crew members to communicate via the Internet from some of the most remote places in the world. This photo, from a February/March 2007 expedition down to Antarctica, was distributed to colleagues, family and friends shortly after it was taken.
