Challenge of the Deep

What vast areas are inaccessible and locked in eternal darkness? The Challenge of the Deep exhibition is dedicated to revealing what lies on the deep ocean floors of the world.

Conceived by renowned deep-sea explorer and Institute for Exploration President Dr. Robert Ballard, the exhibit brings visitors on a voyage of discovery through cutting-edge technology. Dr. Ballard’s famous expeditions are showcased in this multi-media exhibit, which introduces guests to the foreign world of the deep ocean, the emerging science of deep-water archeology and recent discoveries.
