Red Sea Underwater Village

I found this to be very interesting as I had never heard of it before yesterday. This underwater village in the Red Sea was built by Jacques Cousteau in the 1950's to discover whether humans could ever live underwater. This video shows some of the village as it's visited by his grandson Philippe Cousteau.



Happy trails!

Jacques Cousteau Friday

Do you even know who Jacques Cousteau is? You should! He was the man of the deep sea and oceans to me. He was also a French naval officer, explorer, ecologist, filmmaker, inventor, innovator, scientist, photographer, author and researcher of all ocean life. He was born in 1910 and died in 1997.

Starting on Friday the 11th, TMC (Turner Movie Classics) is having an all day marathon of his 1 hour specials he did back in the '70's. Way before my time but I have seen most of them that I got from the public library for school projects and just for myself, as he was very interesting to watch and learn about.
