Helen Scales
There are no compelling reasons for exploiting the deep, just industry and politics vying to push into that last frontier.
Helen Scales, The Brilliant Abyss

I worked in the background for most of my career as a scientist, but I have absolutely no resentments. I thought I was lucky to have a job that was so interesting. Establishing the rift valley and the mid-ocean ridge that went all the way around the world for 40,000 miles—that was something important. You could only do that once. You can’t find anything bigger than that, at least on this planet.
Marie Tharp
