“They’re just so struck by the proximity of these mysterious forms to New York City,” says Madeleine Thompson, Executive Director of the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Library and Archives. 100 years ago, the Arcturus Expedition set sail from New York City. Led by the then-New York Zoological Society—now WCS—the six-month expedition sailed through the Sargasso Sea, around the Galápagos Islands, and then back through the Hudson Canyon just off the New York/New Jersey coast. Thompson shares some of the timeless beauty they found and captured in intricate drawings.

This story is a part of WCS’s effort to designate the Hudson Canyon as a National Marine Sanctuary.
