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本次水下影像由搭载于防滚架耐压舱内的索尼（Sony）数码Handycam摄像机采集，该采集装置通过“南极光号”（Aurora Australis）科考船船尾拖曳部署完成拍摄。本次影像主要聚焦底栖生境，采集方式为机会性采样，而非系统性拖网调查的组成部分。绝大多数影像采集于赫德岛专属经济区（Exclusive Economic Zone, EEZ）范围内，另有部分影像采集于南极大陆周边莫森站与戴维斯站之间的海域。两处海域的影像片段（含赫德岛精选片段与普里兹湾（Prydz Bay）影像）均可通过本次提供的URL获取。本次影像采集人员包括：托尼·维内斯（Tony Veness）、布莱恩·斯科特（Bryan Scott）、安德鲁·塔伯（Andrew Tabor）、凯文·科普（Kelvin Cope）、安德鲁·考索恩（Andrew Cawthorn）、斯图尔特·克拉珀（Stuart Crapper）
