This crew of eight young passionate divers, adventurers and explorers – in celebration of a century of conquest of the North Pole – represent the first time man will cover such a long distance, over 800km, while also executing dives at remote sites that reveal the hidden side of the polar ice cap; something never before seen by humankind. The polar ice field is one of the last virgin areas of our planet and its underwater life is largely unknown. With the accelerated pace of melting and the risk of complete disappearance in summer months within a decade, this is one of the last opportunities to archive this under-ice world for future generations. The expedition’s members will be equipped with the Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA watch designed for divers, waterproof to an extreme depth of 3,900 metres. Since 1933 and along the following decades Rolex has been equipping explorers to successful expeditions with its Oyster watches. From the deepest seas, to the poles and other extreme environments, nature became a natural testing laboratory for those watches. Rolex has continually encouraged the world’s foremost scientists in their explorations, enjoying long relationships with some of the best-known ocean pioneers in the world. The quest for perfection has been the driving force at the heart of every technological advance made by Rolex for more than a hundred years. In the preceding century, it became clear that this knowledge and determination could also be put towards actions that would make the planet a better place for future generations. As such Rolex has a long history of supporting endeavours to maintain the delicate equilibrium that exists between man and animal, and to preserving the Earth’s natural resources. en deepseaunderthepolenews.com http://www.deepseaunderthepolenews.com/images/pod_ph1.jpg http://www.deepseaunderthepolenews.com <![CDATA[“We Walked Under the Pole” on public television this week]]> http://www.deepseaunderthepolenews.com/pressrelease.asp?pid=100139
