The Lost City expedition launched from Woods Hole, MA on July 17, 2005 heading for the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where it will explore the unique hydrothermal vent field called Lost City. Above is the top of Nature Tower, a 30m actively venting chimney in the field. Prior to the start of the Lost City expedition there were months of preparation. Scientists met to develop a systematic plan to explore the Lost City region, and outreach partners worked together to determine how best to cover the expedition through various coordinated efforts.
