Meet one of the most celebrated explorers of our time as undersea
pioneer Robert Ballard looks back on 25 years of collaboration with the
National Geographic Society and reports on his latest deep-sea
expeditions.
Relive Dr. Ballard’s explorations of the Mid-Ocean Ridge. Join him in
the Galápagos Rift, where his momentous 1979 discovery of deep-sea vents
revealed exotic new forms of life. Experience his thrilling discoveries
of Titanic, Bismarck, Lusitania, and the lost ships of Guadalcanal.
Then hear about Dr. Ballard’s latest discovery, five ancient shipwrecks
found last summer on the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. You’ll also
preview Ballard’s next expeditions—to find ships lost in the battle of
Midway and to probe the Black Sea for ancient vessels.
Don’t miss I Survived the Titanic, a harrowing account from National
Geographic WORLD.
Dr. Ballard and a team of researchers venture beneath the surface of the Atlantic to explore the Titanic in “Secrets of the Titanic” from National Geographic Video.
