Link of the Day
The Secret on the Ocean Floor - BBC News
The BBC has a great mixed-form article about mining for deep-sea resources that you should go check out. It's excellent journalism—fair and well-explained—mixed with some great design and supporting visuals AND a crazy story to lead off. I've attempted to find this story a few times before, so it's good to finally have it surface in the middle of an even better feature.
There's no good image to link; you should get the full experience reading it yourself. Go check it out over at the BBC.
