Into the Abyss Submarine Exploration of the World's Largest Undersea Canyon

Carved by the Yukon River during past Ice Ages, Zhemchug Canyon is the largest undersea canyon in the world. In the summer of 2007, an international team completed the first ever in-water exploration of seafloor and water column creatures in Zhemchug and neighboring Pribilof Canyons. Submarine pilot/marine ecologist, Michelle Ridgway, presents the first-ever underwater video footage from the depth of Alaskas Bering Sea canyons.
