Mantle exposed in mid-Atantic

This isn’t exactly a convergence topic, but the science is just too cool to miss…from the BBC website:
Scientists are to sail to the mid-Atlantic to examine a massive “open wound” on the Earth’s surface.
Dr Chris MacLeod, from Cardiff University, said the Earth’s crust appeared to be missing across an area of several thousand square kilometres.
The expedition is being logged at a site for teachers and students here. (Image linked from this website).

A holistic approach to technology integration and research into working, learning, and living spaces. Investigating issues of convergence, natural science, social science, and art. Seeking technology's place in professional learning communities. Biologist by degree, engineer and computer scientist by hobby. Oh...and designer when I feel creative.
