Deep Sea Exploration

The Price of Glory

Such one of a kind sights under the ice would make it seem like anything is worth a chance for a chance to dive in Antarctica. The cold is so intense that it is actually physically painful, slowly oozing into every part of the diver’s body over time. By the time they got out of the water, they were incapable of moving their bodies, swollen from lack of blood circulation.

The start of blood flow only pronounced the pain. After four weeks on the ice, they don’t even feel their toes when its warm, and would need 7 months to recover from the nerve damage they endured from 32 total dives under the ice.
