Video: Astrobiologists Diving Under The Ice In Antarctica: Getting Out of the Water — Dale Andersen Getting Out of the water in Antarctica — Dale Andersen

Dale Andersen: Our research in the perennially ice-covered lakes of Antarctica involves long, hard days, but they are always fun and exciting.

Here, Dale Andersen, having completed a dive next to the Canada Glacier is exiting the water – with a bit of help from George Simmons, Bob Wharton and Phil Ballou.

This research has been supported by NSF’s Office of Polar Programs, and NASA’s Exobiology program.
