64-year-old Aleksander Doba of Poland set sail from the capitol of Senegal. After 98 days, 23 hours, 42 minutes at sea, Doba and his custom 23-foot-long, 39-inch-wide human-powered kayak landed at Acaraú, a city on Brazil’s northeast coast. The trip covered some 3,320 miles in all, and Doba became only the fourth known person to accomplish such a feat, and the very first to do it nonstop.
Strange and amazing deep-sea creatures were discovered by scientists during their 6-week expedition in the Atlantic Ocean. They are stars that walk on their unusual network of arms, new species of sea cucumbers, electric worms and other most unbelievable sea inhabitants. The voyage was the last of the MAR-ECO project that consisted of several biological surveys of unexplored Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
