Underwater video footage from voyage 4 of the Aurora Australis, 2003-2004

Underwater footage was taken with a Sony digital Handycam mounted in a pressure case on a roll cage, and then trawled off the back of the Aurora Australis. The footage was taken primarily of benthic habitats, and was done on an opportunistic basis, rather than part of a systematic trawling survey.Most of the footage was taken within the Heard Island Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), but some footage was also taken between Mawson and Davis off the Antarctic continent. Footage of both areas (highlights of Heard Island, and of Prydz Bay) are available at the provided URL.The footage was collected by:Tony VenessBryan ScottAndrew TaborKelvin CopeAndrew CawthornStuart Crapper
