This 3,000 square foot interactive exhibit engages through hands-on exploration and discovery, submerging one into the deep undersea world. Extreme Deep depicts the myteries of the ocean's greatest depths. Newly discovered life forms, thermal vents, close-up views of deep-sea research submersibles as well as shipwrecks including the Titanic, are among the attractions this amazing adventure. Museum goers will observe firsthand the technology that only recently has allowed men and women to travel to the ocean floor.
Visitors can operate a replica of the submersible Alvin, and simulate a dive up to depths of up to three miles. They can fly a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) over a model of the Titanic's deck. They can manipulate Alvin's robotic arm by picking up lava rocks and clams from the seafloor while peering through the window.
Extreme Deep, designed for ages six and older, introduces biology, chemistry, geology, history, exploration and the critical role that technology plays in understanding our world and its future.
Extreme Deep is presented by Little Rock Family Magazine.
