Jill Heinerth - Cave Diver

I have recently read an article about Jill Heinerth who goes cave diving, including diving under icebergs in the Antarctic, and takes wonderful photographs:

This is the first time I have heard of this and thought it might be of interest.

The two pictures below are from a Daily Mail article which was a fascinating read, but unfortunately I couldn't link to it. If anyone was interested they could google Daily Mail, then do a search for Cave Diving:

In the Daily Mail article Ms Heinerth is quoted as saying:

"I was experimenting with a 3D mapping device ...

It is the technology that one day NASA hope to send to the underwater caves of Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter".

Amazing and beautiful pictures! Thanks for posting these!

I would love to see what some of those 3d maps look like..be funny if they sent probes to Europa and come back with some whale pictures
