Deep-sea research vessel Okeanos Explorer live camera

The raw feed from a remotely operated vehicle lighting its way along the seafloor. It runs only while the ship is on an expedition and goes dark for months between. At that depth no daylight reaches, so the sky artwork on the card does not apply here.
