The exploration project will be only lasting this week, and will study the seafloor of the San Andreas Fault. The team will be using all types of new technology to create graphs and maps of the area. The first-ever three-dimensional bathymetric-structural map will be included in the new creations while researching. The team will be able to compare the current research with past information to better understand the Earthquakes in the area. Marine life is trying to be found, as well as more information. As progress is made, the team will be letting out information and pictures of what is found. Stay tuned to that.

There have been man eruptions in Alaska, but none of this severity in the Aluetain Islands. Kasatochi Island was one of the most beautiful of the islands in Alaska. Home to a lot of wildlife, and beautiful scenery, the Kasatochi Island has taken a brutal turn. After the eruption, the island, as well as surrounding islands are completely lifeless, it seems. The island went from being a beautiful "paradise" to a hellacious area. Scientists are still working on helping to restore the Island to it's natural beauty. Until then, research is still being done on the activity of the volcano.
