ROPOS Navigating ASHES Field

ROPOS Navigating ASHES Field

Navigation screen for the ROPOS team showing "snail tracks" of the ROV as we were pirouetting around the hydrothermal vent called Hell. The small rectangle-shaoed object is the location of ROPOS when this image was taken. This system allows us to return to the same spot within a couple meters for every single dive back to the same location.
