Remembering AT15-27
It’s been quite a journey here on the R/V Atlantis! Journeys often inspire whimsical creativity, so I asked the crew and scientists to volunteer Haiku’s detailing their journey these past couple weeks…
Overwhelming sun
A revitalizing breeze
Day then night. Clockwork.
-Alex Buchanan, Able-Bodied Seaman
Although this cruise is nearly over, the FLEXE team invites you students to continue your journey of exploration and to submit (as a comment to this post) your own haiku of what you have learned while visiting our website. (Remember that haiku’s must have three lines, the first line having 5 syllables, the second line having seven syllables, and the last line having five syllables.)
At the end of January 2008, we will choose a winning haiku and send you a little prize from the deep sea! (Read more…)

Alvin is so neat
He dives into the ocean
To explore the deep.
January 8th, 2008 at 1:32 am
From captain to crew
The submersible Alvin
Dues much gratitude
-Noor E.
(The submersible Alvin should thank or give gratitude to the people who made it possible for him to explore the ocean.)

Alvin went diving
Into the depths of the sea
To see what lives there

We’re going down in Alvin
It’s taking so long (are we there?)
It’s worth it down there

Don’t let it past

Exploring the deep ocean,
So deep down below,
Are these daring explorers.

Under the surface,
Are millions of mysteries,
Waiting to be solved.

In a deep, dark place.
