Dr. M. Dale Stokes is a
marine ecologist with a PhD in Biological Oceanography from Scripps Institution
of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego. In 1997, 1999, and 2000, he
visited Antarctica as part of a team led by Norbert Wu, a professional
underwater photographer/cinematographer, on a National Science Foundation
sponsored underwater photography expedition. The team was based at McMurdo
Station on Ross Island in the Ross Sea and Dale did numerous scuba dives at
various locations in McMurdo Sound. As a previous visitor to Antarctica in a
research capacity, Dale was an indispensable member of Norbert Wu's team, with
extensive diving experience in both cold-water and tropical environments. He is
an accomplished underwater photographer and made a strong contribution to the
photographic aspects of this project. This photo shows Dale diving nearshore at
Turtle Rock under the ice.
