NOAA Ocean Explorer
This  site from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration dares to go where no site has gone before. With a wealth of online goodies that will amaze even grizzled mariners of the Web, it tracks, records, photographs, and thrills to a fleet of deep sea expeditions. There's so much to talk about that it's almost painful to narrow it down. But we accepted the task, and came up with these recommendations of where to begin... - Submarine Ring of Fire: This recently accomplished mission charted the underwater volcanoes of the Mariana Arc. Don't miss the jaw-dropping video, especially of sulfur chimneys, "huge bushes" of tubeworms, and the fantastic eruption of the Brimstone Pit.
- The Sound in the Sea gallery: A collection of audio files that includes the eerie, fluttering hum of the blue whale and the reverberations of a massive underwater earthquake.
