Photographed in 1964 for National Geographic, a team lead by Norwegian archaeologists search for Viking artifacts at L’Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland.
"I had just enjoyed one of the peak experiences of my life: plunging beneath the polar icecap at a Canadian research camp," Grosvenor recounts. He holds a flag from explorer Robert E. Peary's polar expeditions in the early 1900s.
A diver helps launch the Alvin deep-sea submersible in the Cayman Trench for an expedition researching oceanic crust, led by National Geographic Explorer at Large Robert Ballard for a story in the August 1976 issue.
The size of Loch Ness – nearly 40km long, and in places over 200m deep – means that there is considerable territory needed to be covered to track anything down. Still, rumours persist of a monster in its depths; the latest image to garner attention was found on Apple maps.
National Geographic photographers and scientists dive in Loch Ness as part of a 1977 story to investigate the Scottish lake and its cryptozoological denizen.
At the bottom of this image, a shark is attacked broadside by a deep sea squid in a remote camera image taken at 2,400ft in the Kaikoura Canyon, a mile-deep trench off South Island, New Zealand. Squid – such as the Humboldt squid - are formidable predators, but their deep sea incarnations are little-observed. This never-seen-before behaviour suggests the squid are masters of their environment, and some theories suggest gigantism is entirely possible amongst animals which rarely leave the depths.
Ballard shows off the Titanic expedition’s commemorative T-shirt as he and his colleagues examine the luxury liner’s blueprints.
Giant tube worms, which can grow as long as eight feet, cluster around a hydrothermal vent.
During a 1984 expedition to study the seabed near Iceland, Ballard offered an impromptu lecture in cramped quarters to the crew of the NR-1, the U.S. Navy’s nuclear-powered research submarine.
During a 1979 expedition in the Pacific, Ballard and his team retrieved startlingly large clams that thrived near scalding hydrothermal vents.
